Bracket 1
Filler should work, yes
The 3500 stayed GMT400 thru 2000, so stuff off that truck should work.

They may be 22mm which is equivalent to 7/8". IIRC that's what they are on the square body trucks. 1/2" bolts have 7/8" heads, usually.I got the bumper filler that came out easy, the side pieces were difficult and got damaged. Most of the hardware attaching the side pieces was corroded badly.
At least the bumper filler is un cracked and already painted white. I didn't get the bumper brackets out because I forgot my breaker bar. The bumper bolts (around a 21 MM head size?) look pretty corroded as well, I will bring my reciprocating saw if I have to cut the frame to remove the brackets lol..

I'm still collecting data for using a 95+ grill on an earlier truck. Bits and pieces keep cropping up like this one. I keep hoping someone will do a definitive write up on exactly what is needed to do this swap. If I get to the grill before I find one I will write it myself, but my work avoidance gene keeps kicking in and preventing it from getting done.
Hi Eveready, you can use my pictures if you would like to do this. I can take some more pictures to make it clearer for people.
Thanks! I will follow your progress here with interest.
LOL this subject always gets tripped up. YES you need the 94-up brackets, not all four of them, but just the two main ones directly forward from the frame rails. The outer two do not change.
The reason you need them is the 94-up bumper/grille filler strip (the trim piece you mentioned) is deeper, and the 94-up brackets are a little bit longer to allow for that piece to fit correctly.
