Front bumper

[Marcelo]

I have a obs w/t rhat i did a 88-93 grille/ headlight swap on. I noticed that the bumper is scooted a little forward. The bolts that go under the filler piece are exposed. Are the bumper brackets on a w/t the same as a regular silverado or would i have to swap them?

You need the bumper brackets from a 88-93 truck.

Not sure of the year breaks, but there were differences in bumper brackets, filler panels, and marker lights in the grill year to year. I know quite inconclusive but there were differences

There was just a thread on this and forum member someotherguy pointed out the differences in these. I’ve forgotten how when you mention a member and it highlights their name and alerts them.

Its 88-93 and 94-98 i think

Yes I think that's the break. '94 up is the "streamline" or "floating bar " grille and it sticks out further.

You didn't say what year your truck is but I'll have to assume it's either a 94-up or you have previously got 94-up bumper brackets (the middle two, not the outers) installed, for the gap to be like you're describing.

There's no difference in W/T / Silverado / etc. brackets, trim level doesn't make any difference here. It's strictly 88-93 and 94-up. The outer brackets are the same across all years.

A couple good pics and more info would help (what year is your truck for example) - a lot of these parts will mix and match to varying degrees and will kind of "fit" but not correctly, as you've found. Pics showing what all parts you're using - grille, filler strip, corner fillers, etc. help us understand how to help.
