Not without changing the front fenders, radiator core support, grill supports, and headlight assemblies. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

wth? it has the 69-72 hood on it and the full front grille like a 69-72 chevy. yet it wont fit. wtf

Wes is right. GMC fenders are the same as 67-68 Chevy (the front area where the grille mounts is unique). The radiator support on the GMC is set up for 4 headlights, and obviously Chevy has 2 headlights.

I say leave it a GMC, you would look so much cooler, and all the girls like the big chrome grille of the GMC

about 12 miles heading w on i64 past richmond you will see a exit for the new route 288. we are about 10 min from there. in between shortpump and oilville.

billsbowtie, that is a 69/70 grill, not a 71/72.

longhorn man that is what i was thinking when i saw it.....it is upside down. that made it alittle harder to tell, but that is what i was thinking when i saw those raised lines in the center. plus it looked a little too thin through the center.
