Does anyone know if you can put a '67 grille on a '70 front end?????~~~~~

No, dont think so. Not without alot of work anyways. Hoods are also different.

If it is for a GMC you can do it. If it is a Chevy, it will require new fenders and a new hood. You might be able to use the original front light group wiring harness as the parking light locations are pretty close. You will also need the brace that attaches from the hood latch to the bottom of the core suport.

I've done it twice. The light harness can work. You will also need the 67-8 core support and the little splash pan that bolts between the core support and the bottom of the grille.
