Re: New guy
2 headlights or 4, and some badges. Basically they are the same. There are some other small differences but not much.
Welcome aboard!

Re: New guy
Thanks for the quick reply! That's what I was thinking but, wanted to be sure. Most of the body panels will swap?

Re: New guy
Fenders and core supports are different. However, the whole front clip would interchange. Doors, boxes, gates etc all interchange.

Re: New guy
Welcome from TN !
I have a 70 GMC Shorty with coils. I think you could get either / or on Chevy or GMC. It just depends on the truck I guess. I would rather have coils personally. .. but .. I wouldn't turn away from a leaf truck. We need pics!  We love pictures.
