    I have a solid 51 GMC cab, front fenders and hood but dont have the gmc frame, I would like to put it on a 551st series chevy frame I have with a 235 engine. does anyone know if the GMC radiator, grill attachment ect. will work on this frame? thanks John

    The front crossmember on the GMC is differant than a chevy. You can change out your chevy crossmember for a GMC's, but then you'll have to make new mounts for the front of your 235 cause the gmc engines are longer.
