Thanks | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 637 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 637 | Is it a first or second series. If it's first the fenders are interchangeable, only need a hood and grille to change it to chevy stuff. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,440 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,440 | | | | | | Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 23 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 23 | | | | | | Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 23 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Sep 2007 Posts: 23 | | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 25 Member | | Member Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 25 | To change a 55 GMC to a 55 2nd series Chevy you need the hood, grille, the upper and lower pieces that the grill mounts to, also the hood latch that mounts on top of the grille and the bumper. the fenders are same except for the extra hole's GMC had in front. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 345 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 345 | Nose job? Harley, give it time. You may find you like the GMC better after a while. Its a bit "meaner". | | | | | Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 435 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 435 | I've got a buddy that did paint and body work for over 40 yrs, and I asked him about this task, His reply..."It would be like putting lipstick on a pig, people do it, but why would you want to"? And yeah, it can be done without too much work. | | |
