Just wanted to ask you stovebolt guru's, before I buy something I can't use. Thanks These are both 1/2 tons also.

But, if you are looking for parts for your 1951 Chevrolet, the 1954 GMC is not a good choice for a parts truck (and visa versa).
My vote: not a good match.

But on the other hand if the 54 is in good condition, the front clip from a 51 Chevy will fit, the door catches will have to be changed to accept the earlier doors and the engine cross member may need to be modified to fit the chevy components ( this may mean modifying the radiator to accept the longer GMC engine)
54 sheet metal is a little bit harder to find in good condition than the 48/53 fenders. Look in the gallery to see some of these differences. | | |
