i went to the junkyard and saw a few 47-53 two tons, i really like them and could use one from time to time, they were a little more than what i wanted to pay for them, so my friend has a couple, and i got to talking with him and he sold me a 1952 gmc 2 ton with a two speed rear end, the bad part is the frame is tweaked, but all sheet metal is in good shape, so since the frame is twisted he threw in a 52 chevy two ton frame(good brakes also), and a good running 216, so i'll put the motor in the chevy frame, and the gmc metal on the chevy frame and have me a nice old truck 2 ton jimmy, i got it all for 300.00

I don't know all the details on swapping a GMC to a Chevy frame, but I think there is an issue with how the radiator support mounts.
I am sure it can be made to work, but you may want to start asking about how to do it.
Could be the radiator support from the Chevy fits the GMC?

Sounds like you got it figured out then.
Lets see some pictures when you get started.
