It's just the core support, lights, and grille stuff. The sheetmetal is the same.

yeah that's about an 8 hour drive round trip, not sure it would be really worth it to trade radiator core supports...

Re: 86 dual headlight to single headlight

I've done that already, Switched the 79 High Sierra Jimmy head lights, grill, Fenders and Hood for a 87 Suburban slanted look. How does this look?







I like it, just wanted to see how yall would react to the switch? Ma Deuce

Re: 86 dual headlight to single headlight

the single headlight look just appeals to me more... i wish it wasn't so difficult to go to the round headlight look for my 86

Re: 86 dual headlight to single headlight

Well you could always go to www.lmctruck.com and pick up a part book. I'm sure you could get rid of 86 front fender's and all the other stuff too, I am in the process of removing the 87 grille, fenders, hood and ect, and going to a 1973 GMC Jimmy look.
