Ok. If anyone can spare some time, I would like to build a parts list of everything I need to order. Probably from LMC...

1st pic below is what my front end looks like now.
It came like this; I don't like the grille or the Head Lights they used; I want a closer to OEM style. JMHO, I think the Blue trucks Grille looks much better like that.

2nd pic is pretty much what I want it too to look like, Grill/lights wise.

That said,
If I post a list of parts off LMC that I think I need to put my hooptie back to this style, let me know if I am missing any parts. If so, part # and how many needed please?

Part # Item Desc QTY Price Ea
38-3968 Grille-Chrome/Gray-Standard 1 $69.95
36-4544 Bezel Set-All Chrome Dual 1 $59.95
30-0476 Screw-Silver 4 $.85
30-0815 Anchor Nut 8 $1.25 (Why 8 Nuts, vs 4 Screws? I dunno.)

I know I need 4 Headlights, but not sure which I need... I seen a few sizes that were pretty close to one another.

Thanks in advance for any help.

The grill on your list does not have the bowtie. go for the premium grill it's better quality and you can add the chevy bowtie. (If you want it)
The catalog pics show that you need 8 screws and u nuts for the grill and 8 anchor nuts for the bezels and 4 black and 4 silver screws.

Buy at least on additional piece of all hardware as spare. You don't want to be on hold for cause one piece just disappeared. Ask me how I know :)

If you are not sure about the parts you need call LMC. I hope that helps.

^^^^^ This is correct.Get the premium grille . It is a GM licensed grille, and you will want the bow tie. I'm very happy with my LMC grille.

Guys thanks a lot of getting me going...
Shorty_81, Thanks, I like to hear that, about you being happy with your grille.

Ali_C20, yea oversight on my part, at 1st I thought, eh, I don't want the Chevy logo, but after looking at it and thinking about it again, I do.
So I change the grille and added the Chevy Emblem and the Emblem Nuts.

Also, I delved into all the Headlight crap needed. Wow, what turned out to be a simple "just a few parts" list certainly grew.

I also took your word and added 2 or so extra on the small screws and such...
I'd hate to be 90% together and drop a screw in my gravel drive and have to put it off another few days...

With that, here is list 2.0 and what I hope is now a completed list to replace the front Grill/Headlights...
