Re: Gmc vs Chevy sheetmetal
The difference in 47/53 fenders is the the hole for the park light in the GMC
The 54 GMC fender has a large indent for the 54 park light but still will work with the early grills either Chevy or GMC. This one had piece of tin pop riveted over the indent to run it on a Chevy when I got it.
This is a 54 Chevy fender. Note the curved opening around the grill area and the indent for the 54 park light. It won't work with the 47/53 grills.
 That one went to Arizona to a kid who wrecked his truck the first time he drive it after getting it.
