Re: noob 96 jimmy front conversion

not sure on prices but you can do a blazer front end, a bravada front, or envoy front. and im not sure but i think an hombre front will work too

Re: noob 96 jimmy front conversion

for a 96, the blazer, bravada and s10 would all work. 94-97 s10 and 95-97 blazer and 96-97 bravada will work without changing the core sapport. for 98+ envoy, bravada, jimmy/sonoma, blazer/s10 you have to swap out for a newer core sapport. and headlights and bumper and grille. oh and back to the older stuff, your headlights will work with the bravada grill, but not the blazer grill. blazers run different headlights. and s10s run diff headlights too. and if you do the 96-97 bravada grille you gotta have the bravada bumper too or you will have a gap. any other questions?
