Title: 4 eye swap
Post by: Tommyd11730 on November 14, 2017, 09:31:26 pm
Hey guys. Have looked at several Suburban 89-91  to do a 4 eye swap on my 84 GMC.  Problem is here in the NE the rad supports are roached by rust.
So I'm wondering, how bad are the repop supports?  Im trying to avoid cheap Chinese crap.
And while on the subject of Cheap Chinese crap, does anyone repop the 89-91 GMC grille.  Thanks!

I have found the fitment of aftermarket core supports to be hit or miss. Generally speaking if you go that route, I would drill the body holes larger before you paint the core support. I have 2 extra's in stock, they're still out there.

Aftermarket GMC grille is available
