91 Burban front end....
When swapping out an 81-87 front end for a 91 Suburban front end, what has to be changed? Can I still use my hood and front fenders? I was told that all I have to change is the rad support and grille. Is this true?

Will the 81-87 fan shroud not work? I would think that it should fit on there.

shroud should work, you gotta get all your nifty adjusters and springs for the lights too, then you get to re-wire your stock harness with all the new ends..I just finished it and really its a cake walk.

all the color coding on the wire are the same. just cant wire the green HIGH BEAM wire. you have to do that with a relay, but thats if you want all four lights on on bright. other wise just leave that wire unhooked. if you splice that wire in on the other head light , it will come on when you click your highbeams but wont go off. that is why you need the relay, so it will be switched.
