Since the Late '60s GMCs have just been 4-eyed Chevys. Built on the same production lines, with every 6th unit getting the GMC badge. That may also be an urban myth, but GMC parts always fit a Chevy truck.
I have one of each, so I'm constantly comparing them.
Right, I have a GMC actually, less the grill and that, the original owner's idea for a SWB Chevy included leaf springs, kind of a nightmare really

Wouldn't shock me there's a vintage Pontiac concept truck or two out there. Speak of Pontiac trucks I forgot these existed, I seem to recall seeing them before. https://www.hemmings.com/stories/201...ns-sport-truck

With assys, the guide accts for 1000s details such as OEM identifications& part numbers, written in short order. 700+ images include assm, illust., charts, and points of interest. Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
