What needs to be done to change a GMC front grille to a Chevy?

Can anyone tell me what is needed to change a 71 GMC front grille, headlights, blinkers, etc. to the same year Chevy style (besides the obvious, what about hood, fenders, etc.)?

Thanks.

To go to a 71 Chevy grill, you'll need the chevy fenders, rad cor support, grill (obviously) and hood. The hood is only needed becouse of the holes for the GMC letters.

Front fenders, hood, radiator core support, headlight buckets, inner and outer grill, hood latch (that bolts to the core support), front bumper (if turn signals are there), new wiring harness for the two headlight system, maybe different bumper brackets.

Don't think I missed anything....done this be

I just gotta ask, WHY? You already have the better looking grill.
