change the core support and go with a 68 chevy grill, thats what I want!

And to save yourself from having to trip over all those extra parts laying around you can just send them out to me, especially if that core support is fairly rust free!!!

i'll take that old gmc grill that you dont want.

Just wait a few months and you'll come to realize the GMC grill is the most beautiful piece of steel on the planet. Then you won't want that ol' plastic egg crate.

I prefer the old egg crate myself, have had gmc's with the 4 eyes and like mine better...to each his own I guess.

To make a '69 GMC accept a Chevy grille, here's what you'll need to do:

Assuming you're talking about a '69-'72 Chevy grille, you'll need to change the core support and fenders ('69-'72 Chevy fenders have a crease on the leading edge). '71-'72 grilles also do not include blinkers so you'd want to get a '71-'72 Chevy bumper, too.

If you're talking about a '67-'68 Chevy grille, then you'll need to swap out the core support and hood.

GMC Paul knows more about this and can help out with converting the headlight wiring. Be sure to keep your GMC hardware in good shape and sell it to someone who wants to make their Chevy look a little meaner.
