1968 grill

I was thinking about moving my 1968 grill to my 1971 I just like the way that girl looks better than the 1971 any thoughts the 1968 is strictly a parts truck with a good straight grill

No problem. Just transfer the sheetmetal stone deflector that's below it with that grille.

Yup I like the 67-69 grilles myself to. they will interchange like Jeff said just be sure to swap stone deflectors along with the donor grille. The mounting point of the turn signals are the reason you need to swap stone deflectors if you were wondering.

I put a 67/68 grille on my 70 LWB (by accident, got a good deal).......now i'm glad I did cuz I like that look as well. When it's finished and running, I want to take a pic side by side with my 70 SWB and kinda like the idea that they will look a bit different.

On the pics I posted, he had the exterior trim powder-coated but I didn't see him mention what color.
