Exclamation Chevy Gmc Fenders??

so i have been looking through some catalogs for parts for my dads 68. I see that the 68 Chevy and the 68-72 Gmc fenders are the same part number in all my catalogs. And i went to pick up a fender last night off craigslist but it was a little rough and he told me the same thing. Have any of you ever heard of this at all? are they actually the same fender? would have to be i think if they use the same part number, would the hood be the same also?? just a few questions haha

Re: Chevy Gmc Fenders??

That is what I have heard for years on here. If it is said like that on here it must be the gospel. 67-68 and GMC fenders as well as radiator supports and hood are all the same. Correct me if I am wrong guys. And the lines in my opinion are so much more aerodynamic than the 69-72s. But then I own a 67 and 68 C10.

Re: Chevy Gmc Fenders??

Hoods are 67-68 specific.
And 69-72 specific.

Re: Chevy Gmc Fenders??

67 and 68 hoods are the same GMC or chevy.
69 - 72 hoods are the same, GMC or chevy.
Just like the part numbers in your catalog are telling you

Re: Chevy Gmc Fenders??

if we are talkinf trim, he's right. If we are talking fenders, he isn't.
Trim holes can be a PITA if dealing with used parts when you start swapping GMC to Chevy. The holes won't line up from GMC trim to Chevy trim, to inclide the fender badge.

Re: Chevy Gmc Fenders??

alrite he is referring to the trim on the front brow of the fenders. I took a look at a set today and it had the gmc trim i looked at the other fender that didn't have the trim and looks like just a simple fill in the holes and it will work as far as the badge will fill that in and drill my own holes.
