pre 91.5 grille on an intercooled truck?

[RedD250]

Is this possible to do? I know they redesigned it specifically to clear the intercooler, but can it be modified somehow to fit without looking bad? The more I look at the old style front end, the better I like it. It just looks right for these trucks. What all would I need to get aside from the grille shell, inserts and signal lenses? Do the bumpers mount the same way? Mine has the ugly plastic topper on it, and I'd rather have a solid chrome one. Thanks.

Send a pm to RSchwarzli and ask him. I am pretty sure he put an intercooler in his non intercooler truck, some grill trimming was required as I recall. He is not on the site much these days but you can also find him here https://1stgenindustries.com/

Cool, thanks. I have virtually "spoken" to him before about other stuff.

For others searching this topic.....

It can be done. But the headlights are in the wrong location. So would require the headlights to be moved up and out slightly. Was different on the IC trucks as they had to move them up and out for IC clearance.

Also hi Nigel! Been far too long!
