C10/C20 Body Differences - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a '62 C20 that I have pretty much had to replace Fenders, grill support, and radiator support with aftermarket items due to rust or other damage. Trying to do a dry fit right now and the holes just aren't lining up. Some more than an inch off......AM I missing something here? There's nothing I have found when going back and looking at what I ordered compared to the options available that had a different part number for a C10 over a C20.

It could be the aftermarket components themselves.

How's your cab mounts and core support mounts? If those are missing or blown out, you'll have a hard time getting everything lined up too

Thankfully Cab and Core Support Mounts are in perfect condition. Thinking I just have to make it work. Not a big deal, just way more work than I hoped.

Yup, that's the unfortunate part of the full aftermarket parts.

A tip is don't tighten any bolts completely until you have every bolt in its home on all the panels. Then you can go back and tighten them all up
