fender interchange

hi I have heard a few different answers to this question, so I will ask the experts.
I have a 72 chevy c10 and the front fenders are rotten. I found a 69 gmc 1/2 ton with great fenders. will these bolt onto my 72 so I can use the 72 grille and hood?

Re: fender interchange

Nope gmc fenders are the same as chevy 67-68 fenders. 69-72 chevy fenders are unique to chevy and those specified years.

Re: fender interchange

So if I got the whole clip, including rad support could I bolt it onto my truck and put the 72 grille in it? Would it be a noticeable difference?

Re: fender interchange

Yes you can make your 72 chevy a GMC by bolting the front dog house onto it but no you would have to use a GMC grill, or somebody correct me if i'm wrong but i think a 67-68 chevy grill will work fine EDIT: With thr GMC doghouse..

No. The fenders are different because the Chevy grille fits over a recess cut into the fender. I have seen people mount a 69-72 chevy grille over 67/68 Chevy and/or 67-72 GMC fenders and it looks like ass. Not to mention it's going to rub/cut into the paint and you have to bend the grille to get it to fit over. The radiator support will be wrong too, it will have the mount for the 4 headlights... chevrolet only has 2.

Now if you want to use the whole clip and convert your chevy to a GMC... that would be pretty cool, you would only need to swap the tailgate and horn button to finish the swap.

Yes it will, but he will still have the wrong hood with both clips... he'll need a 67/68 core support and hood.

Re: fender interchange

so not worth my time. I wanted it to be a 72 not a 67. I have a 67 short box and wanted a 72 to go with it.
