Grill question

This is probably general knowledge , but I have no clue. Will an early grill say 73 to 77 era fit into a late 80's truck?
I like the round headlights.

Re: Grill question

It's all about personal preference. Some prefer the classic looks of the rounded line 73-80 front end. To define that even further those that "like" the rounded lines usually "love" the 73-74 recessed grill as it gives the front more definition.

Then there are those that like the variations of the 81-87. While I wouldn't call it classic, it does have a style that is attractive to many.

The next group are those that want the distinct look of the 91 Burb. It was never available on the C-10's so it sets the truck apart. There was a huge trend in the 90's to convert 73-87 trucks because it gave the "old" truck a fresh modern look.

The final group is one that most of us fall in and that's one that appreciates all of the various styles. My personal tastes run toward the early rounded line front end accompanied by the fine lines of the year appropriate trim. On the other hand, there is no denying the clean good looks of the 91 clip.
