Ok so Im a little bit confused here. A friend of mine here in my town has a 2000 S10 that blew the headgaskets so they decided to part it out. I called dibs on the front clip and mirrors. I seen that yall said that I need to get the wiring for the new headlights. Is there a place where they unplug or do I cut them? Also if I cut them, are the wires the same color so I know how to wire them back up? My Blazer is a 97 with DRLs and this S10 has the DRLs as well if that helps. And is $200 a good price for all of what I want? Ill be getting the hood(cause mine is all beat to hell), grill, headlights, rad support, bumper, turnsignals, and mirrors.

i was doing a 98 to 95 grill swap. looks like i was on the right track. one question. does the ac condenser move out of the way or do ac lines have to be removed.

Does anyone know or can someone give me a step by step how to?

Blazerbomber96 01-06-2013 10:11 PM

just purchased everything to do this swap for 120 bucks, going to do it this weekend haha is there anyone i can have on standby ?

Silly question but can I back date my 2000 jimmy to the older blazer 98 front end seeing how the 03 front end is the same ? Also I clicked on the first link and it didn't work

OfoSho84 07-14-2013 12:43 AM

the top link doesn't work and the bottom one is if you want to buy just the assembly piece by piece. any clue to what the top link went too? im really not trying to buy junk yard conversion for my 96. if you remember could you give the site it would be appreciated

OfoSho84 07-14-2013 01:17 AM

do you remember what the top link went to because im trying to get the complete kit not a piece at a time like the bottom one has and really trying to avoid junk yard kits for my 96 if its possible. it would be greatly appreciated

I got a question I have done the 98+ swap on my 96 jimmy but the air bag sensors clips are different. On one side it looks like it needs flipped and still got two wires. but on driver side on jimmy there is three wires but on new rad support their is 4 wires any insight. or can I just leave them un clipped.

Keep the airbag sensors that came with your 96. You will need a couple 1/4" rivets to install them(and a big rivet gun).

I have a '96 with the droopy-eyed, sad-face front end. Would like to change it but I'd just end up detonating my airbag and riveting myself to a rad-support. Bad time of year. I might as well just save up and buy an '04

The top link went to a site called "FBI Rides" which shut down back in 2008 or 2009. You probably didn't want to order from them anyway. They didn't have the best reputation if you catch my drift.

Just piece it together. I guarantee it will be cheaper than the cost of that kit anyway. I would probably suggest Rock Auto or eBay for the parts.

You need:

Radiator Support ($52.79 - Rock Auto)
Grille ($40.79 - Rock Auto)
Headlights ($20.15 X2 - Rock Auto)
Turn Signals ($6.09 X2 - Rock Auto)
Bumper ($44.79 - Rock Auto)
Total = $190.85
Additional parts will be needed if you have sealed beam headlights as you're converting to a composite style headlight

*Prices are current as of this post time*

Diaita 01-30-2014 01:15 AM

Don't forget:
Bumper side support brackets
Plastic locks for headlights
Grille trim strip
Plastic valance under bumper, and bolts
1/4" rivets To reinstall airbag sensors
For changing from sealed beam, 2 9006, and 2 9005 pigtails
