Jeff, Chevrolet is made by GM (General Motors) and the fender MAY have been right. Make sure you check for the trim recess on the front. The 69-72 Chevy will have it, the 67-72 GMC will not.

All I'm saying is don't think it's wrong just because the box says GM... Chevy and GMC are both GM products...

Good luck, Rg

Re: W.o.w These Body Panel Shops

the 67 chevy and GMC fenders are the same, the 68 chevy and 68-72 GMC fenders are the same and then there are the 69-72 chevy only fenders, so a GMC fender will work if you are doing a 67 or 68 chevy front end, kinda confusing, and so that leads me to agreeing with the folks up top about supporting board site vendors. Their products are second to none and they "KNOW" these trucks inside and out, the knowledge is worth any difference in price if there is any at all.

Re: W.o.w These Body Panel Shops

If the box said "69-72 GM" it was probably a Chevy fender you were getting
