    1986-90 Grille/grille surround/bumper on a 1992

    Yeah I knew about the valance but did not know about the rad support. That's a key component. Thanks for the info. There's a really nice '92 long bed for sale but not a fan of the front grille. My favorite of the 1st gens is the 1986-90 grille.

    Well I finally got my '85 registered and started driving it to see what I'm up against. It drives okay but man a lot of noises. Wind rushing thru the door seals, speedo whining and my God the steering wheel. Here's a YT video of my squeaky wheel. I'm assuming the upper bearing?? PLEASE, turn...

    I would like to change out the side view mirrors. The ones that came with the truck absolutely suck (pic #1). There's an '87 at my local Pull-a-Part with the type of mirrors I want to convert to (pic #2). By any chance does anyone have the pic #2 type mirrors and know what are the screw holes...
