What's your favorite 67-72 Front End - Chevy or GMC?

OK - this is the up to date current official results for this year.
Vote, and lets see where this stands for the current members.
It's been done before, it'll be done again.

What' is it? Chevy or GMC - basing it on 1967-1972 ONLY!

Pics?

I'll have to vote GMC, 'cause that's what I have. But, I do like the Chevys. I just didn't want to change to a Chevy front. Wanted to keep it original.

I own a GMC, but think the Chevy looks cleaner. Certainly not to the point where I would lower the value of my GMC by putting Chevy grille and tailgage on there, though.

Yea, that's always the consensus...and how it usually turns out...

BUT...for all the haters that say nobody likes GMC's - they will see that there is a following of GMC fans too.

Re: What's your favorite 67-72 Front End - Chevy or GMC?

I have always been a Chevy guy, but maybe we all just haven't seen enought GMC grilles to make an honest judgement.

If you have few pictures of GMC frontends-post them so we can really see the difference between a Chevy and GMC.

This board is full of pictures of GMCs. Take a look around and see them all you want. No need to post them on this thread, is there?

Thank you!!! If some of the members don't know the difference it makes it hard to give an honest opinion.

Re: What's your favorite 67-72 Front End - Chevy or GMC?

For years, I liked the 69/70 GMC grill best
But the last 2 years or so, I've been leaning towards the 67/68 chevy nose.
My 70 chevy longhorn has a 70 GMC nose, and my 72 chevy burb is getting a 68 nose.

Nice.

I like the 69-70 GMC front ends better than my 71-72 style. But even still - the '67 is the best.

Re: What's your favorite 67-72 Front End - Chevy or GMC?

I like them all.But,seeing a nice truck,then that it`s a GMC just adds something to it.Like seeing a nice Chevelle only to realize it`s a Canadian Beaumont.
