The GMC is recessed in for the badge and shaped for the badge, whereas the Chevy isn't recessed. The Chevy badge sits on the skin (if that makes sense), not "in" it. If you use a GMC hood on a Chevy, you either have to fill in the recess, use the GMC badge or not use a badge. If you use a Chevy hood on a GMC, remove the badge, fill the screw holes, or not. Other than that, they will interchange fitwise Last edited by Cablesmill; 04/01/2017 8:15 AM. 1959 3100 Apache Fleetside
