Gmc v3500
Looking for some good reference pics of a 91 GMC V3500. I see a few on here but they are all Chevys.

Re: Gmc v3500
I guess mine should look like the blue one above with the single headlights. Is there a way to tell which one it should have by the codes in the glove box or the vin?

Re: Gmc v3500
Well I found the grille, L and R buckets and the complete radiator support off a suburban. I hope your right about the RPO code. Where can I decipher the rest of them?

Re: Gmc v3500
If you've got a parts guy at a dealership who isn't a lazy bum he can enter your vin and print a list off the Roos with descriptions in 2-3 minutes.
Was the wiring harness available for the 89-91 front end? It isn't necessary but it makes life easier.

Re: Gmc v3500
The RPOs are common whether the truck is a Chevy or GMC:
http://www.73-87.com/chevy_ids/rpomenu2.htm A GMC pickup is a GM truck with RPO Z88 "Nameplate conversion" added. RPO X88 is what drives the Chevrolet nameplate. K

Re: Gmc v3500
Thanks for the advice, I ended up searching here paid CompNine $5 and printed out the whole list of RPOs with definitions. Meanwhile I continue to install the correct grille. The core support is mostly in but I was having trouble lining the passenger side fender up and found this gem. The grille I picked up is a little faded on the black areas, any recommendation on what paint to use?

Re: Gmc v3500
Looking good. What headlights did you use? Halogens or the LMC lenses?

Halogens from Napa and some new turn signal lenses from Rock Auto.
