1st Gen Grille & Seat Question
Hello, My father just acquired an 85 W-150 Short Bed. I have been thinking about getting him a late model grille, from like a 93 model.
I know that the body style is the same, but do the grilles interchange, or is there anything special that had to be done, to do such a grille swap?
Also, does anyone know id a bench seat from a GEN2 will bolt up to a GEN1 truck?
Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated!

The seats are not a bolt in swap, but if you are even mildly handy with a welder, (or know someone that is) its easy. I have 3rd gen seats in my '78. Took maybe three hours, but only because my work kept getting interrupted by beer.
