As state, you can only use the 89-91 core support. One has vertical provisions for 2 large lamps and one has horizontal provisions for 2 small lamps, BIG difference...

I have actually seen a 4x4 swb truck that had the newer grill but it was the old core support.
They cut rectangular holes in the core to make it work.
The only reason I even realized it was the stock core was I that I couldn't figure out why the headlights were so obviously crooked.:crazy:

So no, you can't use your stoock core.;)

i've seen a conversion kit offered somewhere in "truckin" magazine, or maybe it was stylin concepts ?? anyways, there deffinitely not "reasonable", i'm thinkin they were around $700 or so:crazy:

your best bet is to find a donor blazer or suburban

I know LMC sells a replacement core support for 73-80 trucks, they might just make one for 88-91 trucks. It's not uncommon for battery acid to eat right through them.

Several site supporting vendors sell replacement parts for these also, myself included, I can get you a core support, but if you are looking for a conversion to an 89-91 grille setup, I would get it from a donor. It will come will all the wiring pieces you need also.

This is our 89-91 Quad setup:
