67-68 GMC vs. Chevy... Which frontend is cooler? - Page 3 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

OK I personally vote Chevy, but if someone could post a pic of Tim Christians truck, we could have a good debate. I'm sure there are some just as nice, but Tim's really stands out to me.

since I have a 67 chev, I'll have to go with that. Has a cool look.

If any 67-68 GMC guys wanna trade front ends, lemme know! I think a chrome GMC grille would look cooler.

Where do you live?? I have 3 GMC parts trucks and they all have nice clips. I would trade in minute.

Seriously, though, if you just gotta deface your truck,

All you have to change is the radiator support and grill. Your fenders and hood will work.

shaneschevys · 06-18-2006, 01:21 AM

I like the GMC or the Chevy grill they both look good to me

FRENCHBLUE72 · 06-18-2006, 01:33 AM

I could be happy with the chevy or chromed out gmc grill (even though I went with a 68 clip on my 72.)

GMC Jim · 06-18-2006, 06:17 AM

GMC !!! all the way. The dual headlites were used on prestige cars... like the '79 Cad Seville. Back when I lived in a small farm town in Montana; GMC owners were considered just a cut above the Chev owners. The GMC dealer used to tell everyone that GMC was all for trucks; however, Chev built and sold Bel Airs, Impalas and the trucks were a sidelinefor Chev dealers....lol

take that you GMC bashers!!!

OK OK, having said that I must confess. I have a 68 GMC as a daily driver and a 67 GMC stepside. the stepper is being transformed into a Chevy because I found a very nice 67 Chevy grille. actually I love all 67-72 GM trucks except the 69-70 Chevys.

...lol - That is funny since Chevy sold trucks at about a 3 : 1 ratio over GMC. That's a heck of a sideline venture, huh??

Did you know they made dual headlight Chevys? I have one (58-61)

I tried to photoshop a dual headlight 67 chevy... Looked like garbage.

stllookn · 06-18-2006, 12:04 PM

Tim, WOW! That is one beautiful truck! Just think how great it would look with a '67 Chev front grill...LOL!

68gmcdually · 06-18-2006, 12:10 PM

I love my '68 GMC, although maybe I just have something for dual headlights & yes for you purists I have the wrong year grille in my truck.

Hey man- GMC had that "cross type" grille arrangement around 25 years before Dodge copied it! Its the other way around! LOL!

Maybe us GMC guys will get beat here but its just a matter of being the minority for us! Actually I dig em all, but GMC's is still better!

**hevy_chevy67** · 06-18-2006, 04:49 PM

67-68 Chev for sure. There probably my fav out of them all

albert lancaster · 06-18-2006, 05:02 PM

I Would Say Both.

Frizzle Fry · 06-18-2006, 06:08 PM

Voting for both is the same as not voting at all. It's like putting the same amount of money on both black and red at a roulette table. When my wife wants to vote for the opposite candidate as I, I say we might as well both stay home. Then I sneak away and get my vote in

Just giving you a hard time albert...

60 GMC · 06-18-2006, 06:32 PM

the chevy is nice and clean looking,but far to common.Id say GMC

JRB · 06-18-2006, 06:59 PM

Chevy by a mile. Just picked up mine and am finding hard to work on my other trucks because I like it the best. Before I get to it I have to finish the 69 shortstep, 63 shortwide, 64 shortwide, 56 shortstep bigwindow, then the 67 Longbed to be converted into a shortwide. I guess I know what I will be doing the next coulpe of years.

The 69-70 Chevys aren't as pretty IMO. But, in my defense, the 67-68 Pontiac Firebird grills are a lot like GMC grills. And we all know the 67-68 Firebirds are good looking cars.

powell72 · 06-18-2006, 11:37 PM

I gotta say GMC's don't do anything for me, I'm glad dirtball and I have started to take his GMC frontend off, it was starting to scare me!

GenIIIShorty · 06-19-2006, 12:25 AM

Chrome '67 grille! That's what's going on my truck!

although I like the GMC grille I would have to say I feel its just too big for chrome. I prefer it painted argen silver or something like that. but a chrome bumper under it is a nice touch.

matthufham · 06-19-2006, 09:17 AM

gmc gets my vote, but not 67-72s, more like 94-98. they look better than chevy during that time period only

Jason915 · 06-19-2006, 04:17 PM

My GMC is my favorite and I also own a 70K5 and my Dad has a 72 K10 when I look at the front views to compare the GMC just stands out as more aggressive the big chrome grill and chrome bumper with 4 eyes staring at you looks tuffer than the cheap looking aluminum outter with plastic inner grill. Now I do like the 67-68 Chevy better than the 67-68 GMC but most do.
