I have gotten two different answers for this previously and since I don't have a "little bolt" to compare to would just like to know for sure. Initially I was told that everything behind the firewall is the same as the "Lil Bolts". Now someone just told me the hood and the grill are the same just the fenders are different. I would greatly appreciate if the Stovebolt "experts" could put this to rest for me. Thanks. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 2,987 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 2,987 | I'm pretty sure that at least the grille is different also. I'm sure someone will jump in here soon and clarify it. Otherwise, a search through previous posts here should turn up the answers you seek.
Welcome to the Bolt! | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | . Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | One of the exceptions to the "everything behind the firewall" idea are the running boards.. They are different than a small truck, well obviously different than a pickup, and not so obviously different than the short boards from a small (1/2 through 1 ton) non-pickup truck.
I don't know as much about 54 big bolts... I do know for a 48-53 the fenders and hoods are different between small and big trucks. For 54 I'm pretty sure hoods are different, and I suspect grill too but not sure.
Tim will have the complete and most accurate answers for you, wait for him to chime in.
