Gmc? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Were all the GMC's grilles the same? 67-72, reason I ask, I'm trying to help Tri-Pro get the core supports repopped for GMC's. I gave them my dual headlite bucket to use as a sample. To my knowledge, all GMC grilles were the same. Please help, I would hate to give them the wrong information...J.

LMC trucks lists them as the same part no. for chevys and GMCs except that the air conditioned trucks have a slightly different no. Probably a minor difference.

I thought we established last week that LMC doen`t have GMC listed.You must have read the catalog wrong and never followed up on your post.Look again.They just list 67/68 Chevy and 69/72 Chevy,only two listings.

To answer the question about 67-72 GMC supports being the same,the answer is yes.You can mount a 67 in a 72 or whatever without changing cores.

So to paraphrase, all GMC grilles('67-'72) look alike= dual headlites

the grill it's self... no, there's 3 seperate grills.
67
68 - 70
71 - 72
The core support though, i think is the same 67 - 72

Thanks Andy, but the headlites are all dual and in the same location?

Longhorn Man · 03-01-2008, 09:02 AM

There are are couple of differences in the 67/68 GMC core supports .. the 67 does not have the holes for the ac lines to pass thru below the battery box, both 67/68 supports have nut inserts along the bottom front for the lower air dam/valance (like on the 67/68 chev core supports) and 69/72's do not.

I see what you mean that the Gmc is not listed in the core support. I saw all the other things that were the same and I have heard that the supports are as well so I never really looked that closely. My Bad. I lost the ability to access the boards all through the weekend and until yesterday so I was not able to follow up on the thread.

Longhorn Man · 03-01-2008, 03:44 PM

live rat... thanks. So the general shape is the same, just details are not.

jaros44sr · 03-01-2008, 05:07 PM

Thanks for all your input, that is exactly what I needed. This board rocks, maybe very soon we will have core supports for the GMC's also...J.

So, to make this fit all years,'67-'72, it would have holes punched for a/c lines below the battery box and nuts welded to the holes on the leading edge, which are already there

I guess I should have answered that core supports are "interchangeable",although not identicle,as well as grilles.
