Front end conversion?
Hey Guy's I was wanting some feed back from anyone that has done a 67-68 nose on a later model frame. When I bought my truck the 68 body was already on the 71 frame. The cab was mounted but the core support was just sitting there. As I looked at it it looked to me the holes didn't line up too well. I know the swap has been done before, I'm just wondering how everyone got around this problem. Thanks ian

I just tossed it on, bolted it down, and used the 72 core support bushings.
Other than the calico colors, its all lined up fine. 72 C/20 burb with a 68 nose. |

The other thing is the core support has to be for the front clip you are using.If the truck still has the 71 core support ,it doesn't work.

Re: Front end conversion?
The truck is a good thing to keep your mind occupied over there. You are all doing a great job. Come home safe.
