Does anyone know if the single, square headlight bezels/grill from an 85-87 will fit the 89 R/V series? It's my understanding the R/V trucks were made with hold over body parts. Here's what my truck has, but all the part suppliers year applications list 85-87.

Owned an 88 or 89 1-ton cab & chassis with that grille and body. Can't remember the year exactly.

The earlier style bezels do not fit, the correct '89-'91 type are needed.

This website and it's members have came through for me again and I am grateful for the help!

So final answer according to Classic Industries, the 89 R/V series share the grill/headlight bezels with the Blazer/Suburban/Jimmy. The Jimmy does look like it has different mounting for the grill emblem to me.

Needless to say they were in Stock and are now on the way! Thanks again!

This is the base grill for 85-88 trucks. The difference is you would need all the trim work that goes around the perimeter of the grill. The 89-91 does not have that. It also appears you parking lights may be a little wider.
