Post by: CJURGENS on December 31, 2008, 01:12:25 pm

so i got in a wreck yesterday in my 85 silverado and destroyed the front end it didn't mess the engine up i don't think i need a new radiator i know that but it missed the frame rails so my questions are i need a new left fender/inner fender new grille and hood and support bar with parts from  a 82 fit on a 85 frame "this is probably a really dumb question but I'm new to the whole body work thing so i need to know" thanks guys

If your question is: Will 82 front end sheet metal fit your 85 without modifications? The answer is Yes

FYI: There is really no dumb question. Knowledge is everything and you gotta start somewhere. I learn as I go just like the next guy.

PS: I feel your pain!
