73-87:

I have a GMC truck.

When I bought it, the truck didn't have a tailgate, so I bought one from a seller on craigslist.

It was a Chevy tailgate, but I needed one and didn't have time to wait until a GMC was available.

My basic question is, from your experiences, does it matter to a potential buyer that the VIN is GMC but the trim is Chevy?

I am about to replace things like the grille, headlamp bezels, etc.

I want to keep it consistent, and I don't mind getting the Chevy trim, since I already have the tailgate.

Tailgates are expensive and GMC tailgates are hard to find used.

My inclination is to just go with the Chevy trim and not worry about it.

Thanks in advance.
