Junkyard Parts Interchange? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

What parts can I pull off of a different vehicle to stick into my 71 GMC Truck?

Such as will a 71 Nova Bench Seat fit? How about a 65 C10 bench seat?

Will the tilt steering column from a 79 Chevette fit into my truck without any fabrication?

Can I substitute my rusty grill for a shiny one off of a 59 Cadillac?

What parts from other vehicles can I use on my truck without having to do any welding? Seats, Steering Column, Dash, Instrument Cluster, etc

I think that Cadillac grill would be a perfect fit. Make sure you upload pictures.

Seriously, though, there's not a lot of interchange without some fabrication work.

1971-77 and some possibly until 1996 GM vans have some parts that will work in these trucks, such as tilt columns, inside door handles/knobs, marker lamps, steering wheels, and radios. Not too many other GM vehicles' parts will directly swap over, other than driveline parts.
