Grille

The grille on my '93 is about shot. Most of the mounting tabs are broke off and 1/2 the chrome has peeled. I really like the look of the older grilles with vertical park lamps. What would it take to put one in? Are the fenders the same shape on the front? The body's look to be similar. Or should I just forget about it?

yea, i have set a 77' grill on a 93' truck. its not even close. including the front edge of the fenders, the outside profile of the fenders, the valance panel, and the already mentioned lack of clearance for the intercooler/condenser. thats not to say it couldnt be done, but it would be ALOT of work.

I don't know how bad of shape yours in in but you could use a type of chicken wire. Heavy duty kind to keep it together and look good. Kind of like this:

the oem ones from the dealer are around 620$ up here and invailable the next day. I called last week.
I ended up with an aftermarket one, around 150$ from keystone. the fit is not so good around the headlights.
