How Do I Use A GMC Core Support On Chevy? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I want to use a core support from a 67 GMC onto my 67 Chevy. How can I change the headlight buckets to the Chevy (2 headlights instead of 4)? Other than that difference, are there any others?
Thanks

I just drilled out the spot welds on a chevy core support to swap my GMC headlight housings on to. Now I have to start drilling out the GMC spot welds. The Chev work only took about 20 minutes, so estimating another 1/2 hour for the GMC and an hour to weld up the hybrid I'm looking at about 2 hours of work.
Then it's off to the powdercoaters.

If that GMC rad support is super nice I would be interested in trading a chevy one for it. I will be at the run for the sun show set up. Thanks Tim

Tim Christian,
this support does have some rust in the bottom rite, just like my chevy, but my Chevy was bent, so I'm going to repair the GMC support. Thanks for the offer, though, I appreciate it.
And, YES, I will be keeping the GMC headlight buckets, I don't throw away good parts, and most of the time, I keep even the maybe not so good parts!!! It's all a matter of opinion as to what is a good part or not, depending on the frame of mind and financial state we are in at the time!!! (Cornfucious!)
