Swaping grills from GMC to Chevy

[Justin S]

I recently took a truck that had the newer style grille and replaced it with the older style sport grille. There were a few things that didn't line up quite right, and the lower valance piece from the newer style didn't fit right either, but its not that noticeable.

I was just going to stick with my year swap from GMC to Chevy. I dont like the huge hole in the center and come to love the color matched grilles.
I wasnt going to order new , I would go to my local pick and pull since Im going to be sanding the truck down whats a little more work.
Any one Cares to see my truck or build thread its pretty cool .

Different. Chevy and GMC corners don't interchange under any circumstances.

Chevy corners are for Chevy grilles, GMC corners are for GMC grilles.
The filler pc below the grille is specific to the grille. Meaning: if you use an 88-93 grille, use the 88-93 filler same goes for the 94+ grille w/ the 94+ filler.
Same goes for the parking/directional lights below the headlights, they don't interchange on the other grille yr set.

I'm currently running 89 mini-quads w/ a 98 composite grille/filler setup from a 98 on my 99 c3500 w/t cclb. no mods other than the headlight harness.
