AJ8B6V Posted August 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 If you're gonna change out the grille and headlights, don't mess around converting it to a Silverado. Change that shit to a Sierra it's MUCH better looking with a billet grill installed. Plus headlights and side markers are the same as silverado. Also, don't even think about this upgrade before the truck is mechanically sound. Get that transmission fixed son! [/quote Transmission is already in the process of getting rebuilt i get my Ignition switch Wednesday.I should get Tranny back not this week but next. Im awesome with wiring that my profession. And id say itll take me 1 hour to do this job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sierra is the exact same truck except it says GMC on the grill instead of the chevy badge. and its not hard to get the billet inserts. its all the same. It is NOT the same. The grille assembly is NOT the same and billet is still super easy to find for that bodystyle. GMC grilles look SO much better than the Chevy's. I've owned both and have always preferred Sierra over Silverado. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people don't really care about the difference in the GMC/Chevy front ends. I've always been a fan of the GMC a little more. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

CleanSierra Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 That front end looks great man. Did the headlights sit flush into the grille or did they stick out a bit? The first generation of those crystal eyes had a tendency to not want to sit flush without modifying the back of the housing. You should be able to find the wiring and plugs at a junkyard for next to nothing cost wise. Glad to see progress on it dude. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.
