Default 1988 to 1994 front end

Anyone know if the front of a 1988 1500 would work on a 1994 3500???
Bumper, grill, filler, radiator support............
Looks like the headlights are different.
1988 has four separate and 1994 has two housings.

Default Front end

On a K1500 the IFS (independent front suspension) uses a 8.25 differential. A K3500 uses a 9.25. The mounting tabs for each of these is different and will not bolt up. Furthermore, the input flange from the transfer is different as are the axle shaft flanges from the IFS differential to the wheel hub.

Whether 2WD or 4WD I believe that not only is the frame different but the A arm mounting locations are different and the A arms are certainly different.

Are you trying to do something special?
