Re: need some help turning gmc into a chevy
the fenders, grille, and core support are different. but you could swap the whole front nose. it's bolt-on.
the drive train will all swap as long as they are both coil spring trailing arm rears (some of the gmc's are leaf spring). if you swap the front suspension, make sure you keep all the connecting rods, tie rods, etc together. the crossmember and upper/lower control arms are interchangeable, but the ball joints and spindles and connecting rod parts are unique. driveshaft length will depend on what transmission the trucks have.
