i'm doing a 88-91 grille swap on my 84 c10 and my question is will a van grille be the same as the suburbs

8t5Silverado · 01-26-2004, 06:34 PM

I don't think so.

I looked up both grilles at usaautoparts.com and they gave different part numbers...but I could be wrong.

I think he meant the radiator core support.

PO had converted my front clip for me gchemist. They did a great job but I need the bowtie. Do you recall the GM part number that I need to ask for? By the way, excellent webpage!!!

rodkeyc,
I know I have the receipt in my filing cabinet. I'll take a look for it. Any dealer should be able to get the part.

Blue Beard,
Thanks for the compliments. I have one for my electric fan conversion as well. Just no space to put it.

I hope to move the entire web site and add a ton of pictures and other write ups.

bigd65 · 02-06-2004, 11:32 AM

that looks like the newer body style grill. that wont fit our truck unless you convert the WHOLE front end. Maybe im just looking at it wrong

gchemist · 02-06-2004, 01:40 PM

Don't buy that grill!!! That is a 88+ grill. Actually looks like a 94+ grill.
All the 88-91 Suburban, Blazer and Jimmy grills are in three parts. Two light bezels and one large center piece.
