| | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 7 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: May 2005 Posts: 7 | I have a running 1949 GMC LWB 1/2 ton pickup. It really is just a cab & chassis with a hood. My plan is to use leftover Chevy parts from a 3600 pickup project. I have and plan to use: Bed, running boards, front & rear fenders, hood, grille, radiator w/support, front & rear bumpers. I believe both trucks have the same wheelbase;and in my simple mind think that these parts should bolt right on to create a cheap daily driver. Please help with any flaws in my thinking before I start this project. Thanks, Dave | | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 3,458 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 3,458 | The only place where it might not bolt right up is the radiator, the GMC engine is longer than the Chevy and the radiator and engine mounts on the frame are longer on the GMC. The bed and cab will be fine.
Also, the GMC hood won't meet the Chevy grille properly, you need a Chevy hood, but I think you said you had one.
