There are some significant differences under the headlight area on the 54 for the grill extension in that area.

Where the fenders bolt to the cab, is the same on 1947-55 GMC and Chevy cabs.
You can't mix fenders and grills.
You have to use the entire front clip from ether a:
1947-53 Chevy truck or a
1954-55 1st series truck
Definition of front clip:
Two front fenders
Fender skirts and supports
Front grill and radiator supports
Also you can mount the entire front clip from a GMC truck onto a Chevy truck.
If you do the clip swap the only way to tell if it is a Chevy or GMC is to look at the interior dash. | | |
