I have everything from a 92 but i like the 2 piece grille style. I heard its a pain to turn a one piece grille core support into the older 2 piece grille style i have a non ic core supoort how much of a pain is it to put a stock ic in it?

Not super easy, you will be welding, cutting and fabricating.
You will "destroy" both core supports to make on frankenstein core support
Check the sticky.

I checked the sticky and the hot rod link doesnt work anymore the only other one i saw was a 2nd gen ic swap im to a 93. I have a 92 93 and i believe a 90 or 91 2 piece corr supports i gotta double check to see what it is next time home

Here is a thread form not too long ago...this guy did the earlier 89-90 grille on his 92/93 truck.

I've looked over the different conversions as well and have decided that if I want to get it right, I'd have to weld up a tubing grill like we used to do in the 60's, and get it chrome plated. Might be a good idea any, as maybe I can make it tough enough so it doesn't get so beat up as the plastic ones do when I'm pushing on the deer herd.

That was mentioned in one of the sticky's Would that be something similar too some of the rolled bar grilles that you see in mid to late chevy pickup grilles? U got a pic of what the grille would look like or something similar? Just tryin to get an idea
