I don't think the air intake is in the same place, because on the 83 it is in the location where the inner headlamp would be on the 89-91.
I should have been a little more clear.
89-91 air tube goes into a vertical air box instead of an actual hole thru the support but is still in same spot as earlier support air intake hole.
The air box blocks the inner headlight on the side by side 89-91 grille. That being said, you're technically correct. I'll post some pix when I get a chance of my trucks.

I dug deeper into parts book on this, and I'm thinking only difference is the air box vs the direct hole & diffuser on earlier supports.
Parts book list air tube and box as only for 89-91 and just tube for '88 and down. No reference to V22 chrome grille vs non V22 grille.
