Re: are 68 Chevy Fenders the same as GMC thru 67-72
Do the GMC fenders which are interchangable with 68 chevys possibly have extra trim holes for the GMC Eyebrow trim? I know the 68 Chevy also had an option for trim, just unclear on clip holes.

That's true. This is a 1970 GMC fender. You can see the trim holes and the fade line where the eyebrow was.

Re: are 68 Chevy Fenders the same as GMC thru 67-72
Sorry to bring up such an old thread.
I assume this means that a 67,68 GMC hood would fit on 69-72 GMC fenders if you change the grille top bar. Is that correct? |

Would the hood latch need to change also on the core support?
And I assume the eyebrows would need to be 67 as well? |

I would think so. As for the eye brows just remove them or keep them. They would not interfere with it. All thou it would look wired.

It's been a long time but I don't recall modifying anything.

Re: are 68 Chevy Fenders the same as GMC thru 67-72
Thank you for the your answer.
I have a 69 GMC in the body shop, almost done and I have a chance to buy an original 67 chevy hood. So if I'm gonna do it I have to do it now before all work is done and I buy the grill. Can anyone else with experience please help me out with this info? Just trying to find out for sure if my core support and hood latch on a 1969 GMC truck will work with a 67/68 GMC/Chevy hood? |

The hoods are the same. I believe.

Re: are 68 Chevy Fenders the same as GMC thru 67-72
The hood will fit, but the hood latches are different, if you want to use a 67-68 hood (either gmc or chevy) you will need the the 67-68 gmc top bar and the 67-68 gmc hood latch ( the gmc hood latch curves out to the right side of the gmc grill center bar)
You will have to remove the 69-72 gmc chrome trim from the top of the gmc grill and replace it with the 67-68 top bar. Good luck, Rg
