GMC Cab compared to Chevy cab - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anyone know if there are any differences between a 71' GMC 3/4 ton cab and a 71' Chevy 1/2 ton cab? I assume they are the same, but I just want to make absolutely sure. I know the 71' Chevy has a raised area where the rear view mirror mounts that none of the other cabs had, is the GMC the same? Thanks in advance for the help!

That is pretty much it in a nutshell. A/C or not and High Hump (removable cover) or Low Hump (formed floorpan). Factory Bucket Seats have a different floor build for buckets. The roof panel is different if a truck has factory Roof Marker Lamps. Headliner slots, and Cargo Lamp are detail differences that can be added but kind of hard to remove.

But then there is that pesky question on VIN plates too.....
