Grill swap, What else???

[454SSguy]

Hey guys, here's what I got. What else will I need to do a 94+ grill swap on my truck? I've got a billet grill already (will be getting powdercoated black before installed. Here's a screenshot of my cart. Anything else? I'm confused about the filler piece behind the bumper. There's like 3 of them to choose from.

Don't forget a new bowtie, corner lights, and inner bumper brackets.

Wait.... you got a 454ss, which means you got the 90s style grill.... IMO those are the best looking blacked out grills out there! rare to find but awesome! Anything wrong with it ? id be happy to buy it off you if your willing to sell it... my truck got into a little fender bender this summer, and my grill is all glued up and hanging on for dear life

If I am seeing your picture correctly the bumper filler you need is the bottom one. It goes under the grille.

The other two "bumper fillers" go on either side of the truck, one on each front fender to "extend" the fender to bottom of bumper

nevermind

You will need the 2 side peice and the long filler the side dont match up the same

Already got new lights. I thought my bowtie would work? Guess I'll be lookin for one of those too. Anywhere to find one?

You mean the filler pieces that I already had listed? Or something different?

everything you have listed above...were are you buying them from. I suggest dropping a few hundred bucks for GM parts on the stuff or waiting till you get back and hitting some yards

I'm pretty sure the bowties are different, somebody needs to confirm though.

Agreed. The aftermarket stuff is junk and fits poorly.

Re: the inside bumper brackets - mine still has the OEM 1990 brackets. I did my 1994+ conversion in 1994. My bumper brackets have never been off of the frame and they do not cause any issues.
