Just about? I sure would leave it GMC too, even tho I need some of your dash pieces! That hood is beautiful with the "bird"!
I have much more experience with '70-'72 GMC's but I have learned so much from these experts here since I got my '55 around 10 months ago. I think you can use your bumper and the GMC "bullets" are separate pieces that attach to it. The bullets are available aftermarket from various vendors. I have never seen aftermarket grilles, but used ones come up for sale now and then.
Check out this site,

I have seen at least two of the grilles for sale on there in the last several months. I am lucky the grille on mine is good. Just missing the "100" emblem.
I want to do my '55 similar to your idea too kinda era with the beam axle front with some old school stuff and the I-6.
