Another grille ?

I hate to ask, but I searched "swap grille" and read the 1st 10 pages and can't find answer to my exact ? I have an 84 custom deluxe 10 is there any grille that is a direct swap? If not what is needed to swap to an 87? Or a 88-91 style?

Re: Another grille ?

Don't know the answer to that. But, do like your wheels and tires. What make and size tire and wheel?

Ride looks good.

Re: Another grille ?

Here is my truck. If I can't swap any in easily I'm thinking of painting my black. Any pictures of that? It's already broke so I might order me a replacement then see how mine looks black. But then do I paint headlight bezels or leave them grey?

Re: Another grille ?

The 1st truck ain't mine. It's from someone in my town. Sorry. I really like how it looks.
I can't ever get pictures to load right from my iphone. And it seems I can only load 1 picture at a time even on a PC. We used to be able to load 5 I think.

Re: Another grille ?

You will need the radiator support, lights, blinkers, grille, and wire harness to make the swap.

Re: Another grille ?

Are you wanting to swap to a four headlight setup?

Re: Another grille ?

To change to that grille you'll need everything from an 89-91 blazer/suburban. Core support, grille, lights, wiring harness to spice yours with and the bumper filler panel.

Re: Another grille ?

How much do those affect the light output?

Re: Another grille ?

I think you can make a lot of different grills work for your truck (other than the suburban grill from above).

Re: Another grille ?

I wanted mine just like factory, only new again. NOS was pretty high, so I took mine out, along with the headlight trim and took them to my friend's body shop and he repainted them for me. Mine looks factory new now for around $40. Just a thought. GTT

Re: Another grille ?

I did this for about $20, and a lot of elbow grease. His grill is broken, might find a replacement, I agree black would look good.
