I was just wondering if it was possible to fit a 94 grille on my 93? I like the way these look rather than the 94 style. Do bolting points match up? Will it fit properly? Thanks

Some of the earlier core supports will fit the grille without issue; depends on year. '93 has a pretty good chance of being directly compatible. '88-'91 or so, not so good, but can be made to work fairly easily. Definitely agree with you that the Chinese replacement sheetmetal is inferior.Also, the later grille has a tab on either side that fits into correlating hole mounts in the radiator support.
The '88-'93 trucks do not have these hole mounts on the radiator support and will require you to drill and file them to the correct size/shape. Some guys break off the tabs, but they are meant to hold the entire bottom of the grill firmly... or if your rad support has some rot, just find a good used GM rad support off a donor truck. (New Chinese replacements arent made anywhere near as well)
Best to go to a junkyard and find a '94-'98 C/K and take a good look at one to see what I mean... I dont have any pics handy.
Huh? Easy jobNot without a lot of work.
Makes me nuts seeing those in the newer grille. They're angled instead of flat, and just barely too big to sit square in the hole.When i did it to my 88 i just reused the original parking lights, they didnt quite fit the grille but not enough to bother me
So my 93 head lights will fit this grill?This info really should be a sticky post because it gets asked a bunch.
You'll need:
94-up corner marker lenses for Chevy
94-up park lenses
94-up filler strip between bumper and grille
94-up filler strip corner pieces (grille to fender)
94-up middle bumper brackets (the outers are the same, middle 2 are slightly longer than 93-down)
94-up center bracket (it's just a little piece plastic the middle grille screw goes into above the emblem)
Easy job other than rounding up the parts without it nickle and diming you to death.
