swapping cabs

I have a 69 GMC shortbed,the cab is beyond repair but I found a 70 chevy cab that is in great shape, can I change to the 70 and still use my GMC fenders and grill? Is it hard to change the vin plates,I have the title and plate for the GMC but not the chevy. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

The cab swap is straight across. All your front sheetmetal interchanges directly without any mods at all.

The vin plate is held onto the left door jamb with two special pop rivets. They drill right out, but getting the new rivets is tough.

See, the rivets are shaped like a flower. Kind of like a normal hardware store pop rivet, that someone used a Dremel tool with a little sanding disc to make it look like flower petals.

That someone used a Dremel on a normal Pop rivet......know what I mean?
