Fender bender and grille question

Yo, So i had a little bit of a mishap the other day while gettin pulled out of a mud hole and my grille and passenger fender got a little banged up.

My question is, will a grill from a '95 or newer bolt up to my '88 rad support? Im just gunna rip one off my moms boyfriends old trucks and bolt it up if it all works out.

Thanks

from what I have seen yes perfectly, HOWEVER you need the lower grille filler and the 2 end pieces as well as the 2 inner bumper brackets to make it work without cutting and hacking or leaving things off.

Re: Fender bender and grille question

You need to get the headlights buckets and plugs for the healights. they will bolt right up. You do need that filler piece under it. Im tried to make mine work ,but i need a newer lower piece. I got the grill out of a 98 tahoe.. You will need to cut out some small spots for the taller headlight adjusters...Iposted a pic of mine on here about a week ago to give you an idea

88 burb and blazer is still the suqare body style like 81-87 trucks, 88-98 trucks are gmt400 style.

I was assuming he has a gmt400 style vehicle.
