I know its been asked a before but....will a 70 hood fit on a 68. If not, is it the fenders, grill or radiator support that prevents it. How do you tell the difference in a 68 to 70 radiator support or is there a difference? What year did they start putting front discs on a C30?

The hood will not fit properly. And if I remeber it is becasue of all those things you listed.

Actually, I think it will go on, but the front edge won't line up quite right.
Remember, the GMC uses '68 fenders, but in 69 went to the new hood.
Discs started in '71 on all 1/2 ton thru one ton trucks.
