Your truck just lost it's original identity, I like the patina of the 94-97 !!!
Excellent S10 !!!!
I watched this video for 3 minutes and decided I'm going to keep my front grill, bumper and lights from 95-97.
lmao fr
The square headlights are better
Lol
If you scared…say you scared. 🤷
And that's a good latch assembly
Where did you find your hood? Any info would be appreciated thank you for your time
I’m about to do a grill swap for my 97. I have everything but the pigtails. What brand or store do I look those numbers up on? Also how many headlight clips are there? 2 or 4? My core support is missing them. Thanks.
Definitely doing this to my 97
It’ll look good
I’ve got a 98 that I’d swap these parts for a 97 or older
@@RakingNcash same got a 03 planning to do the same... found a 97 bravada grille/bumper... guess would still need 97 core support and obviously light's
Does this fit a 97 gmc Sonoma
Does the 98+ factory bumper leave any type of gap if I left mine and went with the 94 style grill ??
I don’t see why the need for the 94-97 bumper swap if I’m doing this reverse face lift , does the OP know ?
I was pondering doing this to my 97 Blazer...but I like the 97 Blazer face.
i cant find headlights for my bro :(
i want that bumper for my 96, but can’t find one online
I've actually done this swap before and while its not exactly difficult.
It should not be mistaken as being an ABC/123 swap.
The bumper should be changed out as rhe older S10 with single lights have maker/turn signals in the bumper.
The highlights definitely have to be rewired for each low/high beam bulb.
You never showd how to do the bumper?
Wanting to do the reverse swap and convert my 02 to a 94... If anyone in northern Ontario is looking to do this swap let me know we'll just do a straight up trade in my driveway
It’ll be this same process in reverse.
What size are the slicks on the rear of your truck and the wheel size I am doing one of these trucks to and I need to figure out what wheel and tire thank you
these are 27x11.50. Switching over to a 28 this winter. The wheel is a 15x9.33 with a (i believe) 4.5 back spacing.
@@LsBluu Thanks man I appreciate it
@@LsBluu I appreciate it
would i be able to put a bumper like u have one a stock 97 chevy S-10 because i don't like the end caps
Yes you can. You would possibly need to build your own side brackets.
Is the bowtie attached with regular nuts or push nuts?
little plastic nuts.
@@LsBluu so it can be removed without breaking it?
Should be able to.
I'm going to donthe swap eventually. I have a 94. But for now I'm just going to install the hella headlights to use th h4 bulbs for now. The worse thing is those old sealed beams. They completely suck for night driving.
I want to do the opposite
97 style instead if my 2003 style..
Lighting options are shit for 98+2004
Yiu got atleast 6 or so awesome aftermarket LED options for the old style
Danial Stern lighting for a simple H4 conversion if you fancy that.
Best option for 98 plus is to just install auxiliary lights lol....or go to a shitty fitment aftermarket light band either blind everyone or end up with ba light that's less bright than stock
@@PghMtbRides after some more research i ended up buying some led 4x6, it has a nice wide beam pattern with a clean cut off. So much better at night. And since I have the oem fog light valance I installed some led spot/flood in case I need some extra light. Pretty pleased with it.
Yes they suck real bad for night time driving. Can you send me a link to those led headlights you got.
Gonna try and find a Sonoma core support in a junk yard i guess.
Will this work for a Chevy blazer to
Yes
where can i find that bumper???
@@rsmittyman253 kool
Dang he went all out. ANYONE DOIN THIS and is low on money or doesn't want to go threw all that trouble and do extra work all you need for this job or all I bought was a grille with lights off Amazon for like $105 and then cut some pigtails and headlight fastener things of a junkyard truck $10 then in the hood release bracket drill to hole then take a cut off wheel zap out the middle then u have your horizontal opening for the grille to snap in. Headlights I just lined up with the grille on and hood closed had some grease in the pins and l brackets then it showed me where to make my holes. So I just drilled 4 holes put the headlight threw and used the fasteners then drilled threw the l brackets and put a nut and bolt. Forgot to mention I cut off the pieces on the l brackets on the lights so the would sit flat. And that's all. Just wanted to put this first anyone like me who didnt have alot of money. And I'm sorry I just have to say idk why you would do this to a real ss truck there value keeps goin up sadley I totaled one or I'd still have it. But you shoulda kept it stock and found another dime a dozen regular s10 to do all this work to. Dint get me wrong I love the truck I just think your crazy for doin that. Like dads say. I'm not mad I'm just disappointed lol.
It’s actually a bit cheaper doing it his way (if you can find a 98-04 s10 in a junkyard, good luck around here) but it requires a lot more work. Your way is the easy way and it’s how I’m going to do mine lol thanks for the tip, I was just wondering if I could use the brackets on the headlights and put bolts through it lol
What color of blue is that?
2013 Subaru WRX World Rally blue

Can you take a 99 and put a 94 front grill on it? How hard is it?
Yea, it’s literally this video in reverse
LsBluu Media i am thinking about getting this 4 cylinder auto 99 extended cab that needs another motor and i found a free one with a new head and i want to put a 94 grill on it. Can you also put a 94 dash in a 99?
That’s what I’m currently doing going from 2002 Back too 94-97 . Haven’t decided if I want the blazer style grill lights or the square beams . Only reason for this backward swap is I like the phantom grill look . But a lot guys like the optional 95-97 blazer style lights .
A CH my truck is a 99 and i want to do the same thing. I want to make it look like a 94 or 95 and i am also gonna put a 94-95 tailgate decal on it as well. Do you also have to swap out the light fixtures?
@@lilshag3472
Ya you have to change lights and also change light harness . 94-97 lights are sealed beam on the s10 and composite on the blazer . 98-04 like you have are all composite lights .
You have to install 94-97 core support that’s what allows all the 94-97 components to clip or bolt on and yes sealed beam lights won’t work with your core support and grill they all must be 94-97 .You can also choose too use the blazer style grill and lights . Now 1998 is when the core support and front got a makeover and the core support was the major change that allowed for the new style lights you see on the 98-2004 .
Order all 94-97 that’s how you go back wards
You didn't go over the airbag sensors!
You're right, I didn't. I completely forgot since my truck didn't have them when I bought it.
Nice video Thank you but that’s Too much work for me 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Ohhh come on, you know it looks a lot better. It ain’t too much work. I did it in my backyard in like an hour or less.
where did you buy the grille?
I got it from a local parts dealer a couple years ago.
