Just wanted to make sure there were no hiccups and I need to figure out how to wire up the headlights.

I'm going to the new chrome grille on my 99 crew cab. Because mine is an odd bird because it is a 99, but has the older grille on it, does it make a difference on what I need?

I don't understand the inner bumper bracket thing, because the grille seems to sit right in there.

Far as I know Bryan all you need is the grill, corner lights/reflectors, and if you are going with the 88-98 style quads, you will need the light harness & the light buckets.

Thanks Bill, i got it all installed today. No high beams, but everything else is good to go.

You only have to worry about the inner bumper brackets if you're going from an early ('88-'93) grille to a late ('94-'98) grille or vise versa. Since yours is already a late, you already had the right brackets.

1988-93 brackets are 3/4" longer than 94-98. The "lip" on the grille filler is longer (sticks out farther) on the 88-93.

Sorry for the delay guys

bw4sale · 10-26-2011, 06:24 PM

Looks good, but of course you know I'm partial to that style grill. Is that from a junkyard or repop or what?

**Palf70Step** · 10-26-2011, 09:20 PM

Looks good Bryan, but I liked the other one too!

5150 · 10-26-2011, 09:31 PM

Thanks guys, it's a repop.

Nice!

BIG MAC · 10-27-2011, 08:08 AM

Hate to say it but........ I liked the W/T grill better. Quad/Chrome grills are every where don't see to many "nice" W/T grills around, that or I might be bias
