Yes it will bolt on and fit fine, but GMCs do have notches in the top for the turn signals, so it will look a little different if it's truly a GMC bumper.

You would need turn signals that matched the bumper.
If you are asking if the ones in the bumper can be hooked up, yes no problem. Years ago I saw a couple of earlier trucks with the 71/72 bumpers with fog or driving lights in the bumper. |

The GMC bumpers don't have holes in them for a turn signal lamp, just notches in the top. The turn signals mount in the lower corners of the grille on GMCs.
