can we put GMC grilles on Chevys and still be able to use factory hardware and mounting, and use the Chevy headlights too?

You can swap grilles and yes you use factory bt i believe only thing from chevy that wont work are the corners. Headlights amd parking will still work

Yes, everything is the same except the chevy corner lens are a different shape so make sure you get the orange corner lights when you buy the grille.

I have swapped from Chevy to old style GMC to the newer 94+ GMC grille, and the information being said is correct. You will need corner lenses, there is no point of trying to fit your current ones as the corners can be found cheap, even new.
