Anyone know of one?  I did a search on here but didn't find anything.  Looking to recreate my old 1:1 with the AMT GMC kit as the base.  Thanks in advance.

There may be a resin conversion. You'll also need the hood as they're quite different. The only other option is an original from a '68. Personally, I would find an original and backdate it. Then you have to have a tailgate from the MPC kit.

Hoppersbazaar on e-bay used to sell a '67/'68 grille with the surround molded to it to fit right in the opening from the later cabs. They also had a replacement grille for the actual '67 and '68 cabs. 

I don't see any on their site tight now but you could try contacting them through e-bay and see if they have any , just not listed right now.

The kit hood has enough "meat" to it to file down the front to the correct angle. I did that to mine but it still looks a bit off. I think I should have taken a small pie-gut out of it so it was slightly lower at the front first and it would have turned out better.
