finished it with fenders, glass, doors etc would anyone ever know the difference?

The speaker grill on a GMC says General Motors instead of Chevrolet. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,780 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,780 | Bare cabs are identical, including the doors and windows. (there may be some holes in the firewall that are diffent) The major sheetmetal differences are the hood and grille. The fenders are the same excepting for the parking lights in the gmc fenders. Body tags are different too. Different years have differences too, both GMC and Chevrolet.  .......g | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 | '54 and '55 1st the entire dash is different.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | | | | Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,780 Master Gabster | | Master Gabster Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,780 | Originally posted by OldSub:

The '54-'55 first cabs have different dashes. Come on over and I'll prove it. In the mean time, how many Chevies have you seen with a dash like this? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 800 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 800 | 60-66 have different dashes as well. It really helps to get more, and better responses, when the year of vehicle discussed is listed. There's about a hundred years of GM trucks here, help us help you. I realize the Advance Design guys think they have the only trucks worth talking about, but it's just not true! | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 | Originally posted by GMONIZ: Originally posted by OldSub:

From mid-'51 to '53, the only thing was different was the 0-60 oil pressure gauge for an engine with a real oiling system. | | |
