Fenders, grill, and hood are all diffrent for chevy and gmc, ie you can not use a gmc grill with chevy fenders and hood, the hood can be modified to fit a gmc grill. A member has done this and there is pics in his build thread here:

Hold on Old Navy,
Don't start cutting anything up just yet. You can save yourself alot of time and trouble if you trade the parts you have for GMC parts (never mind the touble you'll save in ligning-up all those parts later during reassembly). That grill alone must be worth $400 new. There must be someone not too far from you that sells parts for these old trucks. If I were you I'd start a new thread asking if anyone in your area knows of a local guy for parts. There is also a regional section in these forums depending on where you live.

Your grandfather was in the service after Vietnam? Jeez, mine was born 10 years after the Civil war ended! (That's 1875 for you young guys that are not up on your history).

Hey old navy, got a little question for you. I noticed you bought that old navy truck on here; then over the last week or so I have seen numerous other old navy trucks for sale on ebay and other places. Is old navy getting rid of all their trucks or are these trucks from stores that have gone out of business. Dont really care either way just curious, but it does give me something to look at when im in that god awfully boring store.

PORTER BUILT Vs. MUSTANG II

From the information I've gathered off of various websites, the cost of buying a truck from Old Navy was sometimes what it cost you to remove the truck from their store. I just looked at one site that had purchased a lot of Old Navy trucks for resell. The site indicated that all of their trucks had been sold. Some of the trucks are in the hands of private buyers, so I expect you'll see a few pop up on e-bay from time to time. I bought my truck off of e-bay from a private seller. I'm planning on dropping a V8 with an automatic in my truck. Since I think the trucks represent a neat slice of Americana, the exterior will probably retain the Old Navy theme.

Thanks for the info. Now I have NO reason to ever go back to Old Navy. On a different note they just finished a Bass Pro Shop 10 minutes from my house and they have a sweet 1953 chevy truck in there as a display. I think this one actually could run and drive out the front door.
