Making a call- 89-91 Burb/Blazer/1-ton front grille/light setup - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

redz 1970 K5 · 11-28-2006, 02:52 PM

I know this is a pretty highly sought after setup. I wanted to make a call out there for anyone that might have one, or if you find one locally to buy it on my behalf and ship it to me.

I have been looking for about 6 months for the front radiator support/lights/turn signals/grille/headlight basket setup from an 89-91 Chevy Burb/Blazer/1-ton. I haven't seen a single one. Someone used to make a full repro conversion kit, but I can't even find that anywhere.

This is the grille setup I am looking for-

Any help would sure be appreciated. Thanks!

The complet setup in kit form runs around $800 in magazines. I can't remember who sells them but the last ad I saw was in truckin magazine a few months back. It is a company that sells lot of grills and swaps. I personally have 1 ready to go on that is of course for sale for the right price, but you would be a lot better buying new as it took me a long time to get my hands on it. The best way is to buy a complete sub or blazer and swap your front onto it and resell or part the whole thing out like I did. If you cannot find a lik or anything for the place that sells them, drop me aline and I will try to find the info for you.

I have been searching, googling, ebaying, etc., and I cannot find a conversion setup. The information would be great if you could provide it.

Thanks a lot!

just emailed a guy who "had" one a couple weeks ago, I did not buy it cause I picked one up just before he emailed me. I emailed him a link to this post...
dont know if he still has it

edman87 · 11-29-2006, 09:57 PM

That 3rd link from pcmcobra is the company I was thinking of- I believe. LMC also sells it all individually. I occasionally read truckin mag and there are a couple places in there that sell the whole setup. I thought I had an ad from when I was thinking of buying 1-before I bought the 89 for parts- but can't find it.
That jbm is prolly about as cheap as you could get the whole thing new at $675, but it is all aftermarket, if you don't mind. A 2wd sub 89-91 can sometimes be had cheap enough to strip for parts and get your money back making it free. A used front cap will usually run about $800.

ive got one but the grille needs to be replaced, but shipping would be pretty high. i took it off my suburban in favor of the 4 light setup so i could run a phantom grille

If anyone is still interested, this guy still has a front setup for sale.

I just bought the setup off of Ebay; $145 total for everything + wiring harness. I will have it all to my door for $240 total. I am sure I will replace the grille and headlight doors with new replacements and I will still be into it for less then $350 total.

I think I did ok. I am very happy that the whole wiring harness is included.

Well, my Christmas shopping is done. I decided to buy a new grille and headlight doors. So my total cost for this whole deal is $370.

tom coop · 12-13-2006, 09:16 PM

good deal glad you got everything you needed

redz 1970 K5 · 12-14-2006, 11:59 AM

Thanks! I will do a write up and photos of the conversion.

Wow redz nice find. Makes want to fix up my front grill area now. The chrome sections look good but the black area's need repainted. By the way i was reading your other thread about being done with your burb after a few things. I just wanted to say you have an awesome looking burb. I can't wait for mine to look that nice.
