GMC Grille on Chevy

Will a Grille off of a 1972 GMC fit on my 1-71 Chevy. I know the front fenders are different but will the grille still fit? Post Pictures if its been done.

You will need to change the front fenders and core support.

Re: GMC Grille on Chevy

to do this swap you will need a complete GMC front clip (both fenders, hood, grill, core support, and bumper). Its all different from your 71. Gmc used 68 Chevy fenders and hood with the location of the turn signals requires the GMC bumper and 4 headlight setup requires the changed core support
