Chevy/GMC Frame Differences

Hey guys, was just wondering if there are any differences between a 1971 GMC frame vs. a 1971 Chevy frame. I've got a 71 GMC frame completely torn down and just bought a 71 Chevy SWB for the cab and bed and was wondering if there were any differences between the two.

Re: Chevy/GMC Frame Differences

if they both have the same style rear suspention... or you plan on swapping to the type on the donor frame... then it's all good.

I put my 72 GMC truck on a 71 Chevy frame, I think it was a 71, with no problems.
