I have a 1995 gmc vandura with 4 headlights and would like to change to early 80’s 2 headlight grille like Tuner for life’s van with a tube grille. I found repro headlight bezels on eBay, but, to install a tube grille, do I still need a factory grille to modify, or would the tube grille be a complete replacement for the factory grille?
I've been looking to do the same thing too... but different. Wanting to go from the single square to the chrome grill with round headlights. I know it has to have been posted here before; however, my search turned up fruitless. there used to be a YouTube video sometime back that provided a very detailed tutorial' however, it is no longer available either.

It definitely needs a Sticky, since it is sooo popular as a customization.
Check out Vanning Mike's YouTube series on it.

Biggest issue is the radiator support needs to be altered with different holes for the different headlight position. The 84-91 grille should bolt in. The 78-83 I've never messed with. The pre-78 requires trimming the edge off below the hood opening and fabricating some mounts.
