grill swap

Hi, I have A 92 Dodge d250. I would like to put a older style front grill in it. Has anybody done this? How old of one can I put in it? Please give me your input. Thanks

Won't fit. The grill design was changed to clear the intercooler.

Well, the intercooler didn't come until 92.5, so if he has a non intercooled version then he's fine.

I bought this grill...



And not only does it look pretty good, but it's got plenty of clearance for the intercooler just incase he does have the 92.5 version.

All I know is that I bought it off a friend who's also on the forums, and he sold it to me with the knowledge that it had plenty of clearance for the intercooler...... Looking at it I don't doubt it one bit... I found a link on the internet to a company that still sells them new if you're interested. It WILL fit an intercooler, I'm sure of it.

I had to do some searching for this one...
ACME truck parts used to sell the crome tube grills that banks used to provide with their kit. NOW it is on this site:

Super Truck USA 89-90 dodge chrome tube grill

here are some other grill products that I found on the site that work for the old and new as replacements, etc.

http://www.supertruckusa.com/products/75017_505.htm

http://www.supertruckusa.com/products/75017_504.htm

http://www.supertruckusa.com/products/75017_503.htm

http://www.supertruckusa.com/products/75017_506.htm

I am going to snag one of those tube ones, myself.
