lets think wiring 81 grill to 89

ok i have i believe all the parts i need. but heres my question will a 1986 light harness hook into the 81 and work correctly so i may splice the wires to make an 86 harness fit the 89. 86 harness is the dual head light set up.

If wanted ill give pictures on this (at the same time im installing a 327 or a 350 i really dont know the numbers are odd but most likely its a 350 the truck was a inline 6

Will the 81 core support work with the 89 grille and headlights?

Re: lets think wiring 81 grill to 89

I'm a bit lost here, unless you are talking about a Blazer or Suburban, the grill from an '89 is totally different from the 81, or 86 for that matter.

Re: lets think wiring 81 grill to 89

ok sorry ill make thinks straight

(the 89 grill stuff is from a 1989 jimmy i rolled years back. my buddy wants to intall this on his 81 c30 2wd. when i did a surch here for wiring ideas it showed to use a 86 wiring harness for the lights and splice them in thusly.. my question was could i take the 86 harness and have it work on that 81 truck and make the 89 grill work correctly.

other wiring think im doing is taking the straight 6 harness out and replacing it with a 8 cylider harness (to best i know thats a straight bolt in and go.
