yeah this is the reason right here. I got lucky with my 47 GMC, all the special GMC parts were there, and the guy even threw in a matching patina GMC tailgate. The only parts that were missing was the support brackets for the heavy 1 1/2 year only (47 to 48 1/2) GMC grille, but since it was mounting to an s10 frame they would not fit anyway. had the heavy duty 47 scooped front bumper too.
I still have the 53 GMC 248 replacement motor kicking around here too. tried everything to sell it, worth more in parts looking at ebay so thats what I will do.
I call them mustache trucks because the grille surround looks like a mustache haha.
