Need front end parts - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ross M. · 08-10-2001, 11:12 PM

I'm looking for a radiator support, a grill, & both headlight assemblies off of a 85-88 Chevy Suburban or Blazer. If you know where I might be able to get some of these used, please let me know. Thanks

Dave, thanks for responding with the offer. Unfortunatly, I was mistaken in the year vehicle's parts I want. While consorting with a buddy of mine, I found that the parts I needed were off of a '88-91' not the years I put in my thread above. I may have found what I need here local. I'll know more tommorrow. Again, thanks for the offer bud.

JUST FOR NFO. I DID THE CONVERTION ON NY 85' AND I LOVE THE LOOK. I PAYED 100.00 BUCKS FOR MINE THEN PAYED 20.00 BUCKS A PIECE FOR NEW HEADLITE BEZELS. I HAVE A FRIEND THAT OWNS A WRECKING YARD IS HOW I GOT MINE SO CHEAP, APPARENTLY THEY ARE HARD TO FIND AND WHEN YOU DO THEY ARE EXPENSIVE.
I WOULD POST PICS BUT I DONT HAVE ANY RIGHT NOW OR A CAMERA AND THEN I DONT EVEN KNOW HOW TO POST THEM.

Here is a webpage I have on my site concerning the '91 Suburban grill change.
http://www.geocities.com/abetterchem...rillchnge.html

Major differences are the radiator support, lights and grill pieces. The fenders are the same except for the passenger side. This side has the carb intake fitted in the middle. If you need to keep your truck street legal by using the factory air inlet then you will also need the factory air cleaner and duct. Mine cost about <$500 with all new parts. Dealer parts will cost you well over $1200.00!!! How did I do it? Call your local body shops and find out where they buy their parts. The parts will not be factory pieces but close enough that I like mine. The most expensive part is the radiator support ($95.00). Check your phone book for a place call Parts Net. They sell parts to all the local body shops in my area. I like them because they sell to the public too!! Sure can save you a ton of money.
