I'm thinking of buying a 1983 Chevy Scottsdale (longbed), it's in rather good condition of it's age and it has a "special" interior and 6,2 liter diesel engine (gas is so da*n expensive in europe)
But this truck has very bad front fenders and tailgate and I don't like the look of 83 front- and rear-ends.
I was thinking that do for example 1980 Scottsdale's front fenders, grille (hood) and tailgate fit just like bolt-on or do they have to be modified?
The tailgate can be from some other year Scottsdale as long as it has the text CHEVROLET on it (written with big pressed letters).
Also the grille should have two headlights and clear lensed turning signals under them.
I've heard that there is a difference between the fenders (and hood?) in cars made before 1981 and cars that are made from 1981 to 1987.
The grille seems to be a bit different in Stepsides, Silverados, Chayennes, and it debends on cars age, Am I correct?
