'67 GMC buy or not - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I found a '67 Gmc long bed today, V8 standard, All I really wanted was the front fenders, and the passenger side fender is wrecked, the bad part is it wasn't rusted, and maybe doors, is a '67 GMC front fender different from a '67 chevy, due to the grill I'm not sure. the tail gate is better than mine, and I'm planning on smoothing it anyway, so doesn't matter about lettering.
the bed and cab are good, small back glass, but someone has cut fuel doors in both bed sides, lots of parts, and was told the guy wanted a radiator for his ford in trade for it.
If someone could fill me in about the fenders I would appreciate it, and you GMC guys let me know if there might be anything ya"ll need if I do get it.

IIRC the '67 and '68 fenders are the same...

How's the grille? I can only honestly remember seeing one '67 GMC in person, ever...if that's in good shape, I'm sure you could make a decent amount of cash from someone who wants a '67 grille.

(Okay, I kinda do, but I'd need a hood too and it's all way out of the budget for a long time. I won't be changing that until I get a chance to do a frame-off, and that won't happen until I've restored something else to be my daily driver.

Slammed67 · 01-23-2003, 03:25 PM

Oh, don't listen to Project1970..... those '67 GMC grilles are a dime a dozen!

I'd be glad to take it off your hands!

sakohntr · 01-23-2003, 04:58 PM

If the headlight bezels are painted, i need both or even one if that is all you have. No dents please. thanks

Crank · 01-23-2003, 05:54 PM

Okay I think as I had it described to me by Longhornmail all '69-'72 GMC fenders are the same as a '68 Chevy, then if you fill the marker light it equals a '67. I don't think that a '67 GMC fender is the same as a '67 Chevy fender. ???

That why I was even interested, I have '68 fenders, but want to get rid of the side marker lights, anybody else have any imput...

**GMCPaul** · 01-23-2003, 06:29 PM

The 67 GMC & 67 Chevy fender are identical. I would be interested in the other headlight bezel, any fender emblems, horn button & glove box emble if they are there and good.

hummm I need to get out to the salvage yard if it ever gets above frezeing here there is 2 or 3 complete 67 gmcs one has the wierd 305 v6 so spring time I will post them

Longhorn Man · 01-24-2003, 12:46 AM

like paul said, 67 chevy and GMC fenders are the same.
68 chevy and GMC fenders are the same.
69 and up chevy fenders are not the same as GMC...GMC maintained the 68 fenders.
67 and 68 are the same except for the side marker lights.
The 67 GMC grill is worth some coin if in good shape. Esp if it is a chrome one. Most were painted white. Acording to GMC Paul (I think it was him) it is not likely to get the 67 GMC grill reproduction, the aftermarket manufacturers don't see it being profitable enough to tool up for a one year only grill.
The only thing that makes the 67 GMC grill an odd ball, is it is the only year that has the GMC letters in the grill in a recessed area. All later years had them on the hood.

Crank · 01-24-2003, 08:17 AM

Okay, one more time. If you have any year GMC fenders, they will work with a 68 Chevy. Except a 67, because of the no marker light deal. But if you have a 67 GMC, it will substitute for a 67 Chevy fender because it is the same with no marker light??? I think I got it, even if it doesn't make sense.

thanks Guys, I think I will go snap a photo today, for ya'll to scope out. If the wind stops blowin, its a cold mutha here, I feel for you northern guys who deal with this for several months.

Longhorn Man · 01-24-2003, 02:31 PM

Brabra, you got it.

still w.i.p '68, how cold can it be down there? The wind chill was -30 here yesterday...and I was out workin in it all friken day.

still w.i.p '68 · 01-24-2003, 02:47 PM

longhornmail,
I know what I think is cold, and what ya'll think is cold is two different things, but the last few days here it has been in the teens in the morning, and working up to the 30's, with the wind blowin it is cooold, on the other hand you guys probably don't rate your summers in how many consecitve days over a hundred degrees, we are not used to this cold down here. funny thing you probably want a good heater in your truck, I want AC..Later..John

Longhorn Man · 01-24-2003, 02:52 PM

LOL!
you hit th nail right on the head there.
I spent 7 years in Tx, so I know exactly what your talkin about there.
We count 90 degree days. If it hits 100, some places of buisness start to close shop.
You are right about my heater in my truck...I can fart and heat up my cab quicker than that heater.

Project1970 · 01-24-2003, 04:32 PM

I can fart and heat up my cab quicker than that heater.

Not to mention reduce the likelyhood of being carjacked to nearly zero!

still w.i.p '68 · 01-24-2003, 04:38 PM

I agree with the fart deal, but did you ever notice, when you fart, the heater kicks in, and it smells twice as bad....LOL

Crank · 01-24-2003, 06:06 PM

Yea. I walked 12 miles last Sunday night from midnight to 3:00 in 8 degree temperature, plus the wind chill factor! D@mn it was cold. lol. I think I'm still going down to get my '67 this weekend. My grandpa may not though, because he had some spots taken off of his head. I'll let you guys know.
