Oh and Welcome to the board there GreatWhiteNorth...where abouts in BC are you? I'm another BC 1st Gen'er.

Only other thing you might have to watch for is the doors from the 89, might not have the venting, for when you close the door. Also if the 89 is manual crank windows, as opposed to your 91 with it's PW, you might need to swap over mechanisms, and drill a couple holes for the wiring to pass through.

They look really good and anybody more than 5 feet away from it would not notice it was not an original
Yea, it is the same way with Chevy, though now the aftermarket has finally decided there is a market for the higher cost grille.

You can buy a unmarked grille for 50 bucks, and the marked one is 350, but they do sell.......

Perhaps as these trucks become more collectable, they will do the same.

I'm currently in Kamloops. Ill have to look into this door venting a little more, but thanks for the heads up. I have managed to make it part way through your thread. Very cool! You may get a few PM's from me.

Patdaly,

Here is a picture of my aftermarket grille. I just ground the back side of the tabs with a dremel and poped the letters off, cut the tabs and ground them flush and adhered them to the grille with 3M two sided auto body tape. Anyone with no knowledge of 1st Gens would never notice it as the factory grille is recessed.
