I know on a 94 to a 2000 frend end swap you need to change radiator supports so the headlights fit. I'm pretty sure that everything hooks right up to the radiator support (headlights, grille). I would imagins that yours would be the same thing. Check the length of the radiator support and see if they are the same length.Some modding would probably be involved. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Do a little searching around all the chevy forums to see if you could find something.

Isn't there a significant size difference from the 4 light grille on the full size chevys, and the s series grille? There would have to be an s series (truck or suv) that had the 4 bar set up at one point and time, or else it will require a wholleeee lot of 'modification' (read fabrication).

This one looks a little cleaner...the grille does anyway..

The red one looks like he custom made the grille, this one looks like it might actually be from a full size chevy!
