quick ???, friend of mine was asking me if he could swap a '98+ S-10 grill onto his '97 S-10. Is this possible without having to replace the whole front end(fenders/grill/bumper/hood)?

 

He may have to replace the bumper cover and the grill obviously. But the fenders and hood will not need to change. I can say as to whether or not the actual mounting locations (where the clips that hold the grill in) will be identical or not but really overall it's all the same truck, they just updated the front end a little.

 

to do it right you'll also swap out the rad support grill bumper headlight's turn signal and have to change pigtail's on the the wiring.not a 5 minute job by anymean's

 

Yeah, i pretty much told him that much Dogger, i just wasn't sure on the fitment around the fenders and hood. Thanks for the input guys.
