Re: 1956 gmc radiatior grill assembly

here's a link to the chevy factory assembly manual. maybe some info in there you can use, dunno.
there are a couple of ways the GMC front sheet metal could be assembled. some use the chevy rad support and some use a totally different rad suport made up of several parts. can you post up some pics of what you have?

The TF assembly manual is seriously detailed and should be a big help but there are some distinct differences with the GMC nose. Mea1ning that you will need to take what the assembly manual shows and then visualize.

Re: 1956 gmc radiatior grill assembly

this thread has a pic of the GMC style rad support that some trucks use. I imagine the 55-57 GMC stuff is gonna be relatively the same except for 57 which has a different type of grill. they did use a mix of chevy style rad support or the one in the thread that is made up of several pieces
