fenders
hi everybody,
dont know if im in the right spot or not but here goes. i just bought a used fender for my 69 chevy truck it came from a 1970 GMC i sent it out and had it blasted when i got it back i noticed it is differnt in the front where the grill mounts the gmc had a chrome eye brow i just assumed it was the same underneath i think it will work but not sure to me it seems the gmc fender will work on the chevy but not the other way around acan any body help me. thanks jeffm |

Re: fenders
They are different and will not work, sorry. I have a 1972 Jimmy that the previous owner had installed a chevy fender on the passenger side and it was noticable.
68-72 GMC and 68 chevy are the same 69-72 chevy are all the same. Is that fender rust free? |

Re: fenders
i understand that the a chevy fender wont work on gmc but it seems to me that a gmc fender might work on a chevy because the part that is differnt will be hidden by the grill.

Re: fenders
Here are pictures of the two fender types. The one with the groove/recess is the Chevy fender, the recess is where the grill would recess into. The fender without the groove/recess is the GMC fender which should be like the one you have.
I sent you a PM also. |

Hoods on GMCs fit 67-68 chevy's too, except that you have holes to fill in from the "GMC" letters...... hard to see but here is my 68 fender...trim is on the eyebrows though

Re: fenders
with the exception of hose for the badging... hoods are the same GMC or chevy.
67 and 68, interchainge fine. 69 - 72 interchainge fine. 67/68 does NOT fit on a 69 - 72 |
