The GMC hood looks better with the GMC grill...... IMHO
What Chris says is right,...
However....I've got the wider flares on my '66 C4000 and have eyeballed the whole thing along side my '63....and I can say....IMO.....It would look better to use the Chev C-50 fenders.....a little narrower flare, and then loose the running boards and extension off the back of the fender and then play with the hood and grill..
But I also have a feelin that if ya had it set up as a dually and had done some fender work in the rear....then the wider fenders, like the ones on your doner truck and my sixty-six 4000 would more'n likely look jest slicker'n $hit, running boards and all.
Maybe.

This one isn't too hard to look at, I'm thinkin..
A fella might just wish he had those running boards come Prom Night.
