Re: make a 1969 GMC rad support out of a chevy?

On 67/68 Chevys the headlights are already where the outer ones are on a GMC,so you only have to deal with the inners. You could use a 69-72 Chevy support,but it's more work. A lot more work IMO. It's all too much work if you ask me. Maybe that's what the vendor meant,because a true car guy can do anything with enough effort. But,I just wouldn't bother with this. Why not repair a rusted one using a Chevy donor? I know I was given a 1/2 done GMC core support where someone started and never finished. I think they were trying to make a 67/68 Chevy support from it. I just welded the lights back in.
