Need gmc pics - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

smackmatic · 05-08-2008, 12:57 AM

A friend smashed into my truck so I have to install a gmc front clip. Tried to search for pics, but gmc is too short of a word. Looking for pics that will inspire me to like the gmc front end.

Thanks

i like those headlights

smackmatic · 05-08-2008, 03:48 AM

here is how the truck looks now. The guy that hit it has a friend that has a 67 gmc sitting in the woods. I am going to swap the front clip. I think that will be the fastest way to get it back on the road

That is an awesome looking truck. You didn't skimp on anything here. Nice ride....

If I'm not mistaken...the front bumper, hood, and fenders are all the same on a '67-'68 GMC and a '67-'68 Chevy. The only thing you'd need to swap out from the GMC to make it a Chevy again is the front grill and headlight/turn signal setup.

My truck is a GMC and I've changed the grill to a Chevy just by installing the '68 Chevy grill and using some '72 headlights and buckets I had. I upgraded the bumper at the same time.

He said he was backing out the garage after a brake job when he did it. Said he forgot to pump up the brakes.

Looks like he was going 40mph to me.

The GMC front end is really growing on me. Its good to know that all I have to do is swap out the grill to turn it back into a chevy.

Thanks for all the pics!

mahanian · 05-09-2008, 09:00 PM

I'm guessing you'll have to do some harness swapping as well because of the 2 additional headlights?
