69 gmc fenders?

i know this is has been on here before but didn't find my answer. If i have a 69 gmc, what can I do, or what is needed to convert to a 67/68 chevy. are the fenders the same and hood. All i've had is 70,71,72 chevy's. i haven't got the 69 yet so i'm wanting to know what the difference is. Can the 69 be changed to a chevy front end and if so, what is the easiest year to change to. thanks

easy way, would be to locate a whole front clip off a 68.
Everything will need chainged out on your front clip as it stands, EXCEPT your fenders and inner fenders. The hood, grill, core support, splash pan and bumper.

Core support can be used ,but won't have the holes for the splash pan.

Re: 69 gmc fenders?

your best bet is to locate a whole 67 or 68 chevy front clip. 69 fenders are a different cut in the front as well as the hood. Inner fenders should match up good. As for the rad. support. your gmc is a 4 headlight whereas the chevy is a single headlight. I dont think it would be too hard to modify but If you can find the 67 68 chevy rad support, I would think you`d be better off using that.

You can use your front fenders and that is about it GMC had the same design fender as the 67-68 Chevys the onl difference is the two holes in the front front for the eyebrow trim
