You need to swap the core support, then you can use the 91 grill, and lights. If you do a search of the forums you will find several that have cover this subject with a bit more detail.

As long as it is a 1989 R/V pickup with is the same as the 73-86 C/K pickups.

you are talking about 89-91 R/V trucks.

To add to what everyone is posting, if you go with a front end from a 81-87 truck 81-91 Blazer/Suburban/Crew Cab, all you have to change is the core support, you can reuse the fenders and hood.
If you prefer the look of the 73-80 front ends, you will have to change the whole front clip ie, core support, fenders, hood, and bumper. Good luck, hope this helps!
