Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 81 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Feb 2011 Posts: 81 | I have come across a 66 GMC 3/4 ton for a decent price. My question; will any of the parts such as interior panels, glass, front suspension...ect work on my 65 C10 1/2 ton?
Thank you

Yes. The main differences on the GMC vs. Chevy are:
* Hood. GMC will bolt up, but front is different.
* Rear suspension. GMC used leaf springs, Chevy used coils.
* Dash board. GMC dash uses different guage panel from Chevy.
* Engine- a lot of GMC's used V6's that Chevy didn't use.
* Wiring harness. Similar to Chevy, but not identical.
The three that you mention: interior panels, glass and front suspension should work (other than the GMC springs which may be much stiffer if the truck has a V6. The V6's were pretty heavy).
I hope this is helpful. Where are you in Alabama?

I was not sure what all work transfer over but the interior (other than dash), f/bumper, vent window assys and the other glass were the areas I was hoping to gain. Also, the wood in the bed is in pretty decent shape. Since I have a SWB fleet side, I would like to use the original wood too. I can possibly sale off enough parts from the old truck to recoop my funds...maybe a little profit too?...lol.
BTW, I'm in the B'ham area.
Thank you for the reply.
