Grill/Headlight change

[ItsMichaelH]

Hello everyone, I'm new here!

Ok, so I want to change the grill and headlights on my truck to look exactly like this with the same dual headlights and the grill with the center strip you can paint. What all do I need to buy? Where can I buy these things? Links would be appreciated. I really like this grill because you have the option to paint the center horizontal line to match the truck. I currently have the single headlight with the parking light below.

What I want my front end to look like: https://gyazo.com/db9cbdf8c82b9fe4468204c2d60dadf5

You will need the header panel (core support), headlight buckets, headlight bezels, grill etc. Best bet is to either find one in a junkyard where you can get everything, or a site like rock auto, cpp etc. where they would have all of the individual pcs. I would think that would be a little expensive though. Sometimes you might find the whole package on craigslist or ebay.

Sometimes you might could locate what you need at a swap meet as well. Someone converting to a miniquad setup getting rid of their stacked setup

Anyone happen to know where I could find that grill online? I can't seem to find it.

I searched "1983 Chevy grille" and found some. That one was also used in 1984. Unfortunately, I couldn't find one that had the spot for the bowtie to go, but some of the replacement grilles, at least for our trucks, seem to be like that. You could either do one of those, hunt on eBay, or try to make your current bowtie work.

Ive got an NOS grill if you want a GM one thats never been installed-I also have a nice used emblem as well as the rest of the stainless trim. Id take $450 shipped for it all if youre interested.

Do you happen to have the headlights as well or no? The Quad ones. Also, any pics of the emblem?
