Chevy to GMC Grille Swap
1 Attachment(s)
My 99 OBS has a worn/faded front end. Despite my love of Chevy's, I'm a "less is more" type & don't care for the Bowtie in the center bar. I'm planning to swap to a fresh GMC grille & was curious if other parts need to be swapped as well. Depending on what is correct on the NET, some say other items require swapping, while others say no.
Anyone that's done the swap on a 94-98, please advise. Thanks! |

Head lights and turn signals are the same. The 4 corner lenses are different between Chevy and GMC.
The filler between the bumper is the same between makes. So is the core support. All you need is the grill and the corner lenses. |
Re: Chevy to GMC Grille Swap
Yep. As long as you're sticking with a '94-'98 GMC grille, all you'll need are the grille and corner lenses. Everything else is the same.

Excellent! My plan was to replace all the lighting lenses so I figured thats the perfect opportunity to update to a fresh grille w/o a badge. They will compliment the new impact-strip free bumpers already swapped on.
Thanks guys. |
Re: Chevy to GMC Grille Swap
Yep, what those guys said! I don't mind the Chevy grille but prefer the GMC version as well. What are you planning for the light replacements?

I like the GMC grille better also. I've changed a few, the info above is correct, nothing to it with the right stuff.

Based on the fit quality vs the other brand from LMC (Depot?), I'm looking @ the TYC front lighting group as well. Let's just say I had to do multiple set's of the LMC rears because of poor alignment quality. When you would go to tighten them down, they would be in a bind & chipped the corners on a lens (2 different sets). Despite understanding the problem, it still repeated itself.
I tried the TYC's on the 99 as my local Oreillys had a pair on the shelf. They went in as easy as the factory pieces came out. Zero issues. |

Good info here. I would like to do the same with my 96 truck, so that's nice to know.

Re: Chevy to GMC Grille Swap
I replaced my rear lenses with the TLC brand .... BE CAREFUL....
The upper corners of the lens are very brittle & a bit thinner than factory. The first lens I installed broke at the upper corner as it just pressed against the soft rubber weather strip. ( O' Reilly parts swapped it) I was more careful next time. |
