front end swap
 

i was attempting to do a search to avoid any discouragement if this question has already been answered but no avail. i am wanting to change my front to the dual side by side light conversion that i believe the suburban and blazers have. my question is can the blazer (specifically a 91 K5 i think i found for cheap) be compatible with my 81 C10? also in doing the front light swap is the complete front clip needed to be replaced or just the front support just for the lights, housing, grill, etc. ?

Good question! I would like to know as well. Also does anyone know any aftermarket companies that sell the conversion kit?

They should be the same all you need to change out is the radiator support if im correct
i changed my front end from a 74 to 82, i had to change everything
but if im correct they 81-87 trucks and 81-91 suburbans have the same sgeet metal

Re: front end swap
 

Correct. Change the rad support and everything should go together just the same. You'll have to do some wiring though. That can be found with a quick search. Good luck, and post some pics!
