89-91 front end pics
 

Wile I'm doing a ls swap in my truck I'm going shave the radiator support and inner fenders but I was thing of swapping my 83-87 setup to 89-91 and using a all chrome gmc grille no emblem, chrome headlight buckets, white lower filler panel, and 90-98 c/k head lights

I think it would look good, but I am kinda biased. ;) I thought about doing the late model lights but decided it takes away from the "older look" too much for my liking. Do the all chrome and the lights like you mentioned. It will work well for your trucks overall look.

Re: 89-91 front end pics
 

All chrome would look cool and i like the idea of a 1 piece headlight!
Would work for mine too!

Re: 89-91 front end pics
 

How hard is it to find those front ends? Are they still available at junk yards here in California? Thanks

Look at http://www.certifit.com/
I suggest painting the core.
I used Zero rust.

Personally i don't much care for the 4 headlight setup on the Silverado trimmed 89-91 models as you've no options available for headlight upgrades with out doing major mods. I'm more into the scottsdale style headlight grille setup like on my own '90 burb.
Painting the grille and headlight buckets flat black was just the first step to ridding my burb of all of it's chrome/silver external coloring.

Re: 89-91 front end pics
 

Is there a how to on this forum that shows detailed pictures of the process? Thanks

Re: 89-91 front end pics
 

Not true, though it is more difficult than with a 2-headlight setup (or a quad-4x6 retangular)

I'd posted a while back on what I've got in m '91:

You've bought built and sold many good chevys without guys like you there would still be so many nice trucks still on the streets.

Dude, Cotton... that thing is beautiful! My jaw is on the floor! Where did you get that billet insert? I've seen some on eBay for cheap but wonder about the quality. Any more pics?!?

Re: 89-91 front end pics
 

Old thread I know. Before and after pics of my front clip swap. What shroud do I use for this conversion? Ordered the "correct" shroud,(supposedly for a 91' suburban) but of course it was not correct.
