69-72 Fenders Question... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a quick question about the '69-72 fenders. Are the GMC and Chevy fenders the same for these years or are the a little different? I have a '71 GMC and a '71 Chevy and I've noticed that the GMC fenders seem to have a deeper angle at the front where the grille meets the fender. Any help is appreciated!

The 69-72 gmc is the same as the 68 Chevy if I remember correctly.

Chevy and GMC fenders are different 69-72. As mentioned, GMCs stayed the same as '68s. Chevys changed on the front edge with an indentation to accept the grille surround. They are shorter,too, like the hood. In '69 GMCs used the top center grille surround to fill in the gap created by the shorter hood.
