Back to basics, pt.1

[C-10 simplex]

1) Please forgive me, as i know little to nothing about the 67-72 series---i'm a 73-87 fan.

2) Also, please forgive, as i feel i must ask questions as they come to me---even thought this is often out of sync with my current projects or life situation; i do not currently own a 67-72. i have a 73-87 truck, but more and more the 67-72's are beginning to fascinate me.
However, if i do not ask what i consider to be "burning questions," i fear that i might forget them and thus may never recieve an answer---which could affect my life/life situation(s) in the future.


A) Can any 67-72 gmc's grill/frontend---i.e., hood fenders etc. be interchanged with any 67-72 chevy model?

B) Is the frame of the 67-72 series the same as the 73-87 series? They look awfully similar and i also "heard" that the front suspension---control arms steering etc. IS the same?

[Sinister]

A) Yes
B) No

if you want a 67-68 grille,you will have to use the whole 67-68 front clip,i.e. core support,fenders,hood and grille. A 72 hood won't match up right with a 67 grille/fender. 69 thru 72 you can use a mixture of parts.hope this helps

The GMC grille does not work with the 69-72 Chevy fenders, only the 67 and 68. GMC fenders remained the same from 67-72. The core support is GMC specific. Any hood can be used as long as you have the correct GMC grille top bar to go along with it- either 67-68 or 69-72.

The sqarebody front crossmember and suspension is a bolt-in deal. You may have to drill a couple of holes, but nothing significant.
