Default front end swap on my 89 cheyenne

Im looking to changing out my existing (ugly) grille on my 89 cheyenne 1500 with the nicer 94 and up chrome grille. Does anyone know what i need to accomplish this? Can it bolt up, or do i need to do major modifications? the two grilles look very similar in shape.

Thanks for your help

Hi, I too have a Cheyenne (1988) that I had hoped to modify cosmetically with an updated grill. As you probably know, the body style did not change until, I believe, 1999, so all the body parts are practically interchangeable, including the grill; just a direct bolt-on. The only caveat is that the headlight cluster ( dual in the Silverados) should match up. Other than that, I don't think you will have a problem. As an aside, there are commercially availabe kits (basically the front clip) to change the appearance to an Avalanche or an Escalade, but it's an expensive mod to do.
Hope that helps.
