Thanks in advance.

If made in USA GMC trucks were 100, 150, 250, 280, 300, 350, 400, 450, 470 series etc. Never heard odf a 3200 series GMC. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 83 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 83 | Sorry....
Let me put it another way..
will a 48 GMC half ton cab swap with a 49 Chevy 1 1/2 ton cab?

You will also have a few more inches fan to radiator clearance-room to install a GMC engine.
'37 GMC T-18 w/ DD 4-53T, RTO-610, 6231 aux., '95 GMC running gear, full disc brakes, power steering, 22.5 wheels and tires.
'47 GMC 1 ton w/ 302, NP-540, 4wd, full width Blazer front axle.
'54 GMC 630 w/ 503 gasser, 5 speed, ex fire truck, shortened WB 4', install 8' bed.
'55 GMC 370 w/270, 420 4 speed, grain, dump bed truck from ND. Works OK.
