To this, so I can run the 30 bar flush mount billet grille. Radiator core is the same and headlamps are the same but I know the spacing between the headlamps and marker lamps are different. What's involved in this swap. Hoping some experienced members will give advice.

Thanks

Re: Chevy to GMC grille swap

Am I imagining the distance between the lamps is different?

Re: Chevy to GMC grille swap

there is a difference in the distance in the marker lights but they mount directly to the grill and not the support. So just unbolt the chevy grill and install gmc grill. The filler is the same.

If you do the 30 bar grill be careful when cutting the factory insert out. Its real easy to screw up and mess up the shell. Don't ask how I know

Since the grille is PTM I'll let the body shop do it prior to paint
