Eagle Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 if not, instead of the 89 style grille I have, I could send you the 94 style (3 piece) that has the upper and lower trim pieces built in...for $5 more... Won't work. The entire header has to be changed to use the newer style grille. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't work. The entire header has to be changed to use the newer style grille. I will install it on one of my grilles on friday. it is identical except for the addition of the trim edging that's on our older rigs. the only difference is that you have to cut some of the older header panel out behind the corner markers in order to make it work. if I find that that won't make it work either, then John, I have the rest of the trim pieces that you would need regardless to make it a complete truck. but they're kinda surface rusty (or theyr'e at least faded grey..can't remember) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to pull it off and see if I can find the manfacturing date. I know the wire harness has two plugs in the middle by the grille. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offroader461 Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 great find...just make sure its the same ratio as the front or youll have to regear front or rear to match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feerocknok Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 That tag on the left side of the cover should definitely say the ratio under the grease spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
