Re: 91 front end conversion
Check my web page. I paid over $600 for parts. Check the parts carefully. Check for rust. You will need a few additional parts for the conversion.

Re: 91 front end conversion
I paid 150 but there is some rust on the support and the grille has a screw hole cracked.

Re: 91 front end conversion
Thats a good price i think if there are all the parts you need,especially a good coresupport!That should take out a lot of guesswork!
I fabbed my face in the original ´81 coresupport because the one i got was a mess! That was some good experience! ![]()

Re: 91 front end conversion
Why not check the truck magazines like Truckin or Streettrucks? i don't know which ones off the top of my head without having an issue in front of me, but theres a few companies that advertise a complete 1991 front end upgrade with NEW EVERYTHING! Headlights, bezels, grille, fenders, core support, hardware, everything. Their the same companies that sell the caddy escalade front end conversions. And I think the price is something like $500. Just a thought...

Re: 91 front end conversion
MONEYEATER - How come you didn't slap a GMC on the grille in lieu of the bowtie? You've got an 81 GMC, as do I. I'd like to do the 91 conversion, but I'd throw a GMC on there. Just asking.

Re: 91 front end conversion
87Bob, I've been looking through some old Truckin's and Streettrucks and I still can't find the 91 conversion swap, but I swear I'm not lyin'! It's a complete update kit, and I thought it was from Stylin Concepts or Godfathers...
