GMC made a fleet option truck that was really different. They used the Chevrolet V Dash with the GMC logo on it.
Not sure about the fitment into a Chevrolet.

Re: 55 to 58 or 59 chevy instrument cluster kinda wierd
The GMC Fleet truck used a chevy cab with GMC badges. So the dash would be just like a Chevy dash and the speedo cluster should have 2 round red lenses for the signals if so equipt not the green arrows. I think the background of the Speedo was a different color than the standard chevy black, Front fenders are the same but some early hoods were different. Grille supports and grilles were different as well.
