71 C10 Cab - 67-68 fenders and hood?

Looking at a 1971 C10 truck. The 71 is great looking but I want a 67-68. Can I remove fenders and hood from a the 71 to put on fender and hood from a 67-68? Not afraid of fab work.

Thanks in advance for your answer.

it's all bolt-on but make sure you grab the core support too, it's different.

Can you leave the 71 fenders and hood and just go with a 67-68 grill?

You will want to use the 67-68 fenders. Like 68bowtie said, it will look pretty bad.

Another note is the 67-68 and 69-72 hoods are different lengths.
