Newbie with ?'s about '91 Suburban - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BigAlVB · 03-04-2003, 02:12 PM

Hello all! I've owned a lot of Chevy's over the years and my current ride is a 1991 Suburban 1500 4X4 with a 350, freshly rebuilt (with shift kit) 700R4, and the medium blue over silver paint scheme. It also has a 2.5" suspension lift and I run 32" BFG A/T's in the summer.
First question is:
Will the cab lights off the '89 and up pickups ('92 and up Suburbans/Tahoes/Yukons) fit on my roofline with no problems?
Second:
Where can I find "cowl induction" emblems or badges like on the old Camaro's, Chevelles, etc that stick on and don't require drilling? I thought it might look retro to put those on my new cowl hood but I don't want to drill into it if at all possible.

I hope its OK to post these questions in this forum. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I ran a few searches and couldn't really find what I was looking for.

Welcome BigAl!
I'm not sure about the cab lights, but I don't see why they wouldn't work. Might just have to get one and test fit. Seems like any truck store would let you do that.
Check Chevelle restoration sites/catalogs for the cowl induction emblem. Even if you can only find the drill in type, you can grind off the nubs and stick it on. I've seen those on cowl hoods on our trucks and it does look good. I've got a picture of one at home, but since Windows XP won't let me use my scanner

I can't post it here.

www.chevelle.com is Ausley's website. You'll find anything cowl induction at this sight including the items to make it an actual functioning cowl hood like the 70-72 SS's had.
Emblem Mounting: Like Low87 said, just snip off the retainer stubs flush and mount with 2-sided tape made for exterior body trim peices.
