Hey guys new member here but long time Chevy truck owner, 67 Step Side, 68 Step Side, 78 2WD Blazer just some I have owned. Just Bought an 87 2WD step side W/350 TBI and 700 trans Factory buckets with console. My question and I'm sure its probably been asked hundreds of times is...The suburban headlight and grill conversion I've seen I really find appealing. Is this a simple bolt on or does the radiator core support have to changed to get this look?

Core support (headlight grill all the front end accrsories like that) all that junk. Grab the headlight wiring from the firewall to make it easier. Should be it. Don't have to change fenders or hood or anything.

The bumper filler/gravel guard is different as well. The piece that bolts to the fenders that goes right behind the bumper.
