'87 grill on '83 sheetmetal
Can anyone tell me if an '85-'88 grill/headlight bezels will 'bolt on' to '83 sheetmetal?
I bought an '83 parts truck to swap the front end onto my '77. I have a an '88 grill. Those are my favorite grills and I'd like to use it on the '83 core support. Anyone have any experience with this? |

Re: '87 grill on '83 sheetmetal
the core supports are the same so it should work out just fine

Re: '87 grill on '83 sheetmetal
I swapped 87 grille and buckets on my 84, bolted with 0 issues. Looks 10 times better than the flat black tube grille that was on there.
