Do you know what year it is?

The easiest way to do it is to swap the entire front clip.

I know you guys do things a little diferent than we do, but aren't you required to have a title... or registration... or a bill of sale? Wouldn't that have the year on it?
Do you have any pictures of the truck?
If you had grill shots, under hood shots, and int pics... we could get it within a year.
Or we could wait for Rod to come by, he is the man when it com,es to GMC VINs.
I want to say it's a 69, but there's too many digits there for my decoder.

Hey, I've got a '68 GMC with one front fender off a Chevy. The fenders are almost identical except for the chrome molding on the front. The Chevy has a larger indent on the very front on the fender where the chrome piece fits. Most people that look at my truck don't even notice the difference until it's pointed out to them. I haven't gotten around to redo-ing all the chrome bits on mine.

Anything is possible if you have the patience and time to do it. Chevy and GMC were pretty much interchangable in the early years, not sure what year yours is though. The quick fix is just to grab a front clip off a chevy if you don't like body work.

you probably have a fender off a 68 chevy.
69 and up would stick out like a sore thumb.

The vin plate signifies whether it's a GMC or a CHEVY( At least on the large vin tags). Look at the very top.

How do you turn a GMC into a Chevy?

You Don't!

GMCs have their very own sexiness.

But it's your truck, best of luck with whatever you do with her.

I think he was talking about how to visually do it... like my 70 CHEVY longhorn...that looks like a GMC witht he whole front clip swapped out..and a GMC tail gate in transit to my location.
