Re: finally suburban swap

I like it...but I might be a little biased to that front end.
The real question here is: How do you like it?

Re: finally suburban swap

I think it looks good on trucks. I did the reverse on my suburban. lol I went from the 91gmc to the 81 billet grill headlight in bumper and cowl hood.

The lights are easy. To hook up the new ones, just match up the colors of wires. All light blue together, all dark blue together, etc. Hope that helps. If not...PM me I will be more than happy to better explain it.

i love the front end now. and yeah the gmc stock grille was pretty much perfect other than a small amout of chrome chipping at the top

and about the wiring it was not too bad just cut and splice
