I have a chance to get a 1954 GMC cab. Can anybody tell me if it will bolt up to my 48 chevy. I can fab something to the frame if i have to. But i want to use my 48 fenders.

The cab mounts changed somewhere during the AD run so you'd probably have to fab something underneath but the sheet metal will fit no problem.

I think it will bolt right up to your 48 frame. The only change in the frame design was at the back for the 54 year. The only difference I am aware of on the 54 cabs between Chevy and GMC is the legend stamped in the dash board. The fenders should still mount the same and the hood hinge locations should be the same as well.

The GMC dashboard is totally different (and far more attractive) than the '54 Chebby unit. It uses gauge plates with individual round gauges, and a special GMC script ashtray. I guess a good body man could fab up a smooth ashtray cover. A REALLY clever body man could probably convince the split-windshield dash to fit the curved-windshield body.
