Re: GMC Fenders
67-68 Chevy fenders are like the GMC fenders otherwise 69-72 Chevy fenders are different. If you measure the fenders you will find that GMC fenders are about 1 1/2" longer then the 69-72 fenders.

Re: GMC Fenders
So 69-72 gmc and chevy are different?? I'm guessing not enough to throw alignment off since aftermarket sells them as either Hope so I think my new fenders are off a chevy and I have gmc. Haven't heard of them not lining up before but I could be wrong

Re: GMC Fenders
I think the difference is on the front where the Grill's mount,chevy has solid aluminum surround.GMC has the metal surround with the eyebrow's mounted seperately.I think..could be wrong...

Re: GMC Fenders
67 chevy and 67 gmc = same ( no marker light )
68 chevy and 68-72 gmc = same 69-72 chevy = same ( all years) BUT different than 68 chevy As mentioned, the difference is the area around the grill shell Posted via Mobile Device

Re: GMC Fenders
My first '72 GMC had a Chevy fender on it when I bought it. The eyebrow molding went right on. You couldn't tell the difference.

Re: GMC Fenders
No, not unless you want to put a chevy grille on it. Do you have the GMC core support with the 4 headlight buckets? (Nevermind, I see it in the pic now...)

Re: GMC Fenders
Well **** that's the whole reason I bought that whole thing cab and all we all learn I guess. The front corners are messed up on mine guess I can hack them up and just use patch panels out of them

You can see the front damage that's all that's wrong with the originals the rest is surface rust I have the core support along with a chevy core too but I only need gmc stuff. Parts came with gmc hood too ??? Odd Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: GMC Fenders
I wouldnt go with repro.. some are better than others but just be patient. They come up pretty often on the parts boatds. Id hold off for good GM stuff.
