Can someone tell me if it is possible to install a 79 round head light front clip on 89 blazer. I am pretty sure it is possible but need clarification. Thanks.

yes you can, then sell the 89-91 front end for a pretty penny.

Yes I did this on my crew cab. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=499666

I figured you could but my brother said he does think i will work. He bought a 79 blazer that is compleatly rusted out and gave up on that now got a 89 that needs work and is planing on combining trucks. He loves the single round head light look. He should be happy to know he can swap. Thanks.

only big thing is you have to move the raddiator support mounts (that are on the frame) foward

not if you use the 79's body bushing on the 89 frame.

Sure you can with some modifications on the cowl area and the frame horns. the square body has a different hood and your frame horns are cut off on the 89'. maybe radiator and shroud differences.. wire harness?? But it would work with some extra effort.
