85 grille to 82 grille swap questions
You will either need to grab the 1981/82 front bumper and run your turnsignals down there or make some custom brackets to use your factory 1983-87 parking lights behind the 1981/82 grill without provisions for grill mounted turn signals.- BadBowtie

New owner of an 87 K10 Stepside
Nice truck. Those are just some aftermarket seats added. Regency, Choo-Choo Customs, etc. Doesn't really matter the old name- Just not GM.- BadBowtie

Scottsdale interior door panel trim.
And here I am, thinking these were always just the same Silverado inserts without the stick-on brushed aluminum overlays. -

Best split bench option
Yes I did for sure. The 1988-94 is just a thinner seat, top to bottom. The foam is more dense, yet sits comfortably too. -
Best split bench option
Both fit just fine. The 60/40 is just harder to install because of the transmission, and making another set of 1980s seat tracks bolt down in the center of the cab. -

700r4 speedo port not spinning at all.

Help identifying GMC grill
Yes, just sell what you have to someone in here wanting to do the 1989-91 swap. Then take your money to a junkyard for a used 1983-87 GMC Sierra Classic nose. You will need a 1983-87 quad-headlight radiator support, all lights and mounting hardware/springs,etc., front headlight wiring...
