If you want the "look" of a Chevy over the GMC, keep the GMC cab on it's chassis.. Move the Chevy front sheet metal over to the GMC.. Maintain the GMC title and it's VIN plate.. It become a GMC with a Chevy "nose", perfectly legal.

I can't stress it enough -- Do NOT tamper with those VIN plates.
Not true . A vin can be moved it takes correct paperwork and tittles or proof that neither vin was a stolen vehicle to both vehicles . It’s done all the time even the federal law has provisions for restoration and body replacements .

But that’s for the owner to decide . OP I would say if your apprehensive on completing the project you should sell them and look for a complete easier project
