Chevy to gmc - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi all, new here tried to find answer in other threads had no luck. Bought a 67 Chevy C30 tow truck will be removing tow body for flatbed, was looking for a GMC but this one came up in good shape and good price want to make it a 4 headlight. I do need a new radiator support but the fenders are good. Will a 67 GMC radiator support bolt to 67 Chevy fenders? I know I will have to get new bezels buckets etc. Thanks for any help.

On Rock Auto both the Chevy and GMC carry the same Goodmark part number for the front fenders.

They are the same fenders between the two in 67.

Same fenders, same hood, headlight buckets can be swapped to core support I thnk.

OK thanks for the input. One more question if anyone feels like responding. Are disc brakes really worth the conversion? Will not be pulling or hauling anything , was planning on just redoing all drums, lines, components etc. Truck will just be a cruiser or something to take to a show.

There are a number of threads here that tell of the interchange between the years of Chevy and GMC.

Too bad you are on the other side of the country I would swap GMC stuff for Chevy. Looking forward to pics.

Yes, disc brakes are well worth it IMO. Remember, it's a stopping competition. You need to do it as well or better than the guy in front of you. In 1967 the guy in front of you likely had drum brakes. I am sure you understand that the 2016 vehicles can stop much better than they did in 1967.

I would highly recommend going to hydroboost brakes on that c30. I have a 1967 C30 and I put hydroboost front discs from a 1975 C30 on mine. The 67 drum brakes weren't even in the same ballfield as the 75 brakes.
The 1967 GMC grill is a one year only grill, only in that it has GMC imprinted on the front of it. Any 1967-1972 GMC grill is interchangeable minus a top bar filler piece which can be removed/added, some paint on the 71/72 grill, and the GMC on the 1967 grill. Structurally they are the same grill.
