Re: difference on 54
cross over to what? 47-48 is different than 49-50 is different than 51-53 is different than 54-55. They all look similar but have subtle differences so that not all parts cross over.

Re: difference on 54
A curved one piece windshield at that.
The doors and hoods will interchange to a point. The 54/first generation 55 fenders are different in that they have a curved inside corner where they go around the grill. 54 and early 55 fenders also have the indent for the park light.  I'm thinking that this is a 53 GMC fender but you can see square cut corner for the grill. This is a 54 1/2 ton hood on my 48. Fits better than the hood that belongs on it.  There are some small differences in the doors but a 52 or 53 push button door will bolt right on and work. 47/50 doors have the single piece windows and a turn down handle and the 51 has a vent window and turn down handle. I just got the new Premier Street Rods printed catalog in the mail yesterday and it is full of replacement panels for each model. Their prices are competitive with most of the other AD trinket peddlers but a guys needs to figure out which one he really likes to work with.

Re: difference on 54
I'm finding that 54 GMC and Chevy share very little. Hood and fenders are different. Even the running boards are not the same. Frames are different, GMC engine is longer than the Chevy. Radiator and it's support different too. Just something to be aware of if you're hunting 54 parts. Rick
edit. AFAIK rear fenders are the same. I was think only of the front fenders when I posted. Last edited by 69l46vert; 01-30-2015 at 05:04 PM. Reason: Clarification |

Re: difference on 54
doors , inner fenders and rear fenders are about it. They look similar but they are not.
Maybe the hood I cant recall what is under the emblem, GMC is very different |
