Someone with more GMC knowledge than I should chime in soon to confirm if this is in fact possible on GMCs too.
Personally I don't think it will be a problem,unless someone proves me wrong!

I haven't been able to find a decent truck in my area. I don't want a rust bucket, I have the tools and skills, just don't want to replace the whole bottom of the truck.

I think I saw a 53 reasonably priced the other day? | | |
