Re: Grill swap on 1986
If I'm not mistaken, you'll need to swap the front clip for a 73-80 unit.

Re: Grill swap on 1986
Yup 73-80, you will need to swap the entire front clip. Fenders, grille, hood, radiator support ect. Also depending on the year, you can either have an external hood release or an inside the cab release.

Re: Grill swap on 1986
If you look up my thread on here "rebuilding my 1977 plow truck" I cover doing this conversion. The biggest issue is the cowl is different between the 73-80 trucks and the 81-up trucks.

Re: Grill swap on 1986
I did notice that haha! Either it's an optical illusion, or they were drunk when built the house AND the truck. Cheap beer goes a long way lol.
