Chevy - GMC Fender/Hood Swap
Tell me if I'm on the right track. I'd like to turn my '69 GMC into a '68 Chevy - sentimental reasons. If I'm correct, by swapping the Chevy Radiator support, grill, and hood onto the GMC I'll be able to get the look that I'm after.

Sold what was left of it for $800 to a guy who came to pick it up at 11:00 PM with cash in hand. Hmm. '79 Sierra Grande (Black) organ donor - perfect rebuildable 4-bolt 350 and a good TH350.

Truck is gone, wife isn't. Nuff said. |

67/68 slope down to the grill, 69 - 72 are more angular.

It's minor, but the holes in the sides of the fenders for the badges: [bowtie-10] and [GMC] are in slightly different places between the two makes. I know, I've still got a GMC fender on the pass side of my '68 Chevy stepside. I have a '68 Chevy RH fender in the shed, but a long spell in the junkyard with an overturned battery corroded the front lower "bulb" -- anyway I'm a long way off from a full-blown resto.
