Re: 1971 GMC C10 front end swap { Help me }
When you say front end, I assume you meant the sheet metal, hood, fenders, grill,etc ? I also assume you just like the look of the '67?
I'm certainly not an expert but i would think the easiest thing to do is get a donor that has the parts you are looking for. Is your frame good and for that matter is the body you have good? Where are you located? |

Re: 1971 GMC C10 front end swap { Help me }
i meant grill and headlight only ( dont want to change the fenders and hood but if its necessary i will do it )
because i like chevy looks the car is rebuilt from scratch , everything is like new condition the problem is , i am in saudi arabia , if i have to get parts i will ship it from usa to here and its will cost me alot of money , thats why i asked here , so i dont buy unnecessary things that will add up to the cost |

I am not well versed on the GMC's but the easiest way to do it is to swap the complete front clip. It would be hard to mix and match parts. The '67-'68 Chevy core support is different than the '69-'72, as are the hood and fenders. LockDoc

You need the 67-68 chevy hood, grill, lights, and core support. The fenders are the same as all GMC fenders. Just keep in mind that chevy changed everything in 1969.

For all that's involved (including the $$) I would keep it GMC.
How could you not love this face...
