Chevy Gmc Fenders??
so i have been looking through some catalogs for parts for my dads 68. I see that the 68 Chevy and the 68-72 Gmc fenders are the same part number in all my catalogs. And i went to pick up a fender last night off craigslist but it was a little rough and he told me the same thing. Have any of you ever heard of this at all? are they actually the same fender? would have to be i think if they use the same part number, would the hood be the same also?? just a few questions haha

Re: Chevy Gmc Fenders??
That is what I have heard for years on here. If it is said like that on here it must be the gospel. 67-68 and GMC fenders as well as radiator supports and hood are all the same. Correct me if I am wrong guys. And the lines in my opinion are so much more aerodynamic than the 69-72s. But then I own a 67 and 68 C10.

Re: Chevy Gmc Fenders??
Hoods are 67-68 specific.
And 69-72 specific.

Re: Chevy Gmc Fenders??
67 and 68 hoods are the same GMC or chevy.
69 - 72 hoods are the same, GMC or chevy. Just like the part numbers in your catalog are telling you |

Re: Chevy Gmc Fenders??
so my dad said that he heard if the fenders have the molding on the gmc ones then they wont fit our truck because our hood doesnt have the molding is this correct??

Re: Chevy Gmc Fenders??
if we are talkinf trim, he's right. If we are talking fenders, he isn't.
Trim holes can be a PITA if dealing with used parts when you start swapping GMC to Chevy. The holes won't line up from GMC trim to Chevy trim, to inclide the fender badge. |

Re: Chevy Gmc Fenders??
alrite he is referring to the trim on the front brow of the fenders. I took a look at a set today and it had the gmc trim i looked at the other fender that didn't have the trim and looks like just a simple fill in the holes and it will work as far as the badge will fill that in and drill my own holes.
