Thinking about a sex change!!!.....er sexty seven change - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

C/10 King · 10-07-2011, 05:24 PM

The pictures tell the story, I often wonder what life would be like for Sancho as a Chevy ..........the colors are identical, just a little more patina. Okay lets hear the comments..... good, bad, do it or "are you freaken crazy".

hotrodhomi · 10-07-2011, 05:28 PM

I think the check clip has too much "patina". See how much of that rust will come off with CLR and then post the results.

71 GMCDRVR · 10-07-2011, 05:30 PM

Please don/t do it, I love those

front ends, and four eyes are way better then two... chevy's are becoming a dime a dozen these days but the GMC's are still unique

HavinSomeFun · 10-07-2011, 05:33 PM

not done with the swap yet?

Rochlow · 10-07-2011, 05:35 PM

I understand how it intrigues you but dont do it. Sancho is perfect as is.

hugger6933 · 10-07-2011, 05:56 PM

well, its not that much work to swap clips, put it on give it a shot. That is coming from someone who has a 68 GMC and a extra 68 chev clip as well.

**MusicMan70** · 10-07-2011, 06:04 PM

No Touchie! Same as it ever was.....

*stich626* · 10-07-2011, 06:26 PM

off topic I know.. but I gotta ask..
how is rust on "some cars/trucks" panita and others it makes it a p.o.s. rust bucket.. in need of a paint job..
not try'n to start a war. just ask'n as I've had faded paint worn through on the top cars for 20+ years and they've always been called sh__ boxes at shows, or nice car when you gonna paint it..

67chevy1series · 10-07-2011, 06:31 PM

rene if you do you are going to have to "trim" sancho.... the fornt end has holes for trim and you wouldnt want three primer spots on each fender for trim would you? keep him a GMC! plus the chevy grill is dented.

**leddzepp** · 10-07-2011, 06:38 PM

Do it.....why not?

big_al_71 · 10-07-2011, 06:40 PM

I would say "NO" way too many chevys not enough GMC

Gus350 · 10-07-2011, 06:46 PM

I say do it and see how you like it.....Drive it awhile if you don't like it you can always change it back......

coop34 · 10-07-2011, 06:57 PM

I was thinking of going the other way with mine. My newborn son's initials are GMC (Not intentional), and I thought it would be cool if I still had the truck 16 years from now, to switch my chevy front clip to a GMC front clip. I'll let you guys know how it turns out.

PanelDeland · 10-07-2011, 07:07 PM

Don't do it.Sancho will never learn to answer to "Don"!!!!

1968ratrod · 10-07-2011, 07:43 PM

I say do it.........

YBNORML · 10-07-2011, 07:53 PM

I have never been a huge fan of the GMC front end, although 67-68 are by far the best looking of all the years. That being said your truck has pretty much changed my mind. When I finally get my burb, It will have a 67-68 GMC front clip on it.
Please don't swap

Barcobear · 10-08-2011, 01:03 AM

Are you kidding me?!

heeroyue2002 · 10-08-2011, 01:29 AM

**KevsClassics** · 10-08-2011, 01:50 AM

Just change the grill only.

I wouldn't do it. All you would need is the grill and core support anyway. It will still say GMC on the tailgate
