How interchangable are body panels between the various series?
Within a year, cab, front fenders, hood, doors, grill and such interchange between all the 3000 series trucks except for the panel/suburban specific body parts. Differences year to year aren't huge, but can cause issues.
This BIG Flatbed is probably not a 3800, but more likely a 4000 or 6000 series. Unless your measure of big is different than mine...
The 4000 and 6000 series trucks share cab and doors, but hood, fenders and grill are all bigger.
5000 series trucks are the COE or snubnose trucks and most all parts are different.
Some Chevy and GMC parts interchange and others don't.
