Can it be done?

Can you convert a gmc core support to a chevy by removing the inner headlight buckets? And if so does it matter which year you use? I have a 70 gmc support, would that make any year chevy if you removed the buckets? Thanks in advance guys.

you should just find a chevy one. you never know there are gmc guys running chevy rad supports that would swap you. just my opinion.

Light sizes are different, bucket size and position are different... I'd find a Chevy one... they're not even that expensive new I think

No you have to completely remove the GMC buckets and weld the Chevy buckets in. Sell the GMC support and buy a Chevy support.

Actually, VA72C10 is selling one. I was lined up to buy the grille and rad support, but someone gave me a rad support here, so I'm just getting the grille itself now
