Thanks, Steve. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | if they look the same ... they are!  the bigger trucks got a totally different looking grill, which I think started w/ the 4400 and up [1½T, right?] - if you mean the openings look the same, will the other grill fit ... prolly would, just give'er a try Bill | | | | | Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 1,571 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 1,571 | I'm not so sure about that. I know the AD medium-duty truck grilles look like the light-duty grilles, but are actually quite a bit larger. Measure, measure, measure. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | GMC - only 2 different grills 55-59 - the TF light truck has a grille looks like this - fits inside the hole made by the hood and fenders, leaving a raised lip around the grill - the bigger TF trucks had a completely different grill that fit in the same hole but overlaps the 'lip' around the opening Bill | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 25 Member | | Member Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 25 | OK, So if they're the same openings why couldn't I put the light duty grill in the 4400 series opening? They measure pretty close. Anybody done this? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 12,029 | haven't seen it done, but if it fits and you prefer the egg crate grill [I do], give it a try - you may have to drill some mount holes to suit, but that's easy - I had a 56 grill in my 57 frankentruck for a while, and it worked fine
