Re: 57 gmc hood on a 56 gmc?

Hopefully some one can tell you the easy ways to tell the difference between 55/57 GMC /and Chevy small truck/big truck hoods. I'm thinking that as on the AD trucks the 1-1/2 and 2 ton trucks have a slightly longer hood than the 1/2 to 1 ton trucks. I am not positive on that one as the top of the fender line is the same even though the wheel opening is larger.

55/56 Chevy small truck hood will fit too but you loose that GMC hole in the front that some GMC fanatics view as a sacrilege when you do it.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
