Im still on the fence. I like my 85 front end. I like the 90/91 What are people thoughts on the swap. Do you think it looks right for a 85 non suburban??

I think they make the trucks look more modern, newer. I want to do the swap, but here in houston I cannot even find a used front clip. Seems when I want cool stuff for my truck I cant find it unless its new parts.:Insane:

Don't really care for it. Looks too modern...plasticky....you'll have to change core supports too. Dad has it on his truck but it looked better stock

I'd go for it you won't be disappointed... there are tons of choices for bulbs :) and your truck lifted will look great with them!

Sent from the dust in front of you!

If you were closer I'd trade you the setup from my 89 dually for yours. The 88-91 clip is my least favorite lol.

ok all 81 up chevy or gmc trucks had plastic grills

in my opinion the 89-91 grill ads a modern look to our trucks
