Default Jimmy front end conversion to Blazer

I need some help with this. I have a 2001 Jimmy and I want to get some projector lenses, however the ones I want are for a Blazer. I don't have any qualms about changing over to a blazer front end I just want to know if I need to swap the core support as well as the lights and grill... Anyone know if I need to? I would greatly appreciate the help. Also if anyone knows how to convert non power cloth seats to powered and heated leather seats I would greatly appreciate that as well.

The radiator core support should be changed it makes things easier. As for the seats just run the wires for the seats with an inline fuse, all of the switches are attached to the seat. If you want to make it look factory perfect I think the fuse boxes for all models with and without power seats were the same because gm wanted to save money so there should be empty fuse plugs you can run wires to for the seats.

No problem bud. It would probably be cheapest to go to a salvage yard that lets you pull the parts you want yourself off of a wreck s10 or blazer and you could get everything at once for cheap.

Yeah I was thinking that myself. There are 4 wrecking yards I can do that with here. I hope there are some that aren't damaged lol. It seems like every time I go looking for one all I see are front end wrecks. I figure that I'll be able to find one soon though.
