Looked at a 87 gmc full size van, it appears the grille would work on a truck, is this correct? What else interchanges with the trucks? Maybe steering column, windshield, rear ends, front suspensions?
-
Rear ends are different spring perch width, and overall width. I have never seen nor had it confirmed, but I have heard the windshields are the same. I know a guy that said he used van front suspension parts control arms in his C10.

hmmmmm Narrower or wider???
-
I don't remember but I think it is wider.
-
OK never mind :(
-
grilles interchange just fine
-
The grille will swap up to a certain year, but Vans are Unibody, so the axle perches are different.
-
The grill will work. I should know, that's what mine's off of. ::)
-
grilles look the same but won't swap over. when i ordered the new one for my truck a couple years back, gm sent me a van one instead. mounting tabs are different.
-
1) the gauge panel interchanges with a chevette/T-1000.
2) So, this, apparently, means that the parts that interchange with the 73-87-91's actually range from 71 to about 96ish because i don't think the new-style gm vans came out until 97 or so?
-
I don't think your gonna get a 71 - 75ish grille in a C K truck!
-
i can try; Wire-ties will do wonders.
-
Van grilles were the same/simular from about 81-87... As far as I know nothing from the 70's will work
