Thank you for excellent video! I'm getting C1500 with W/T front end and was looking how to swap it for Silverado setup. Now I know that I need only grille and lamps and a bit of wiring skills, which I can do myself. A+ video, thanks!
Thanks for this...I was contemplating doing this switch on my 99 Chevy for the exact same reason. Much cleaner and simpler look, and is a throwback to the classic Chevy trucks from 67 to 72. Thanks to you, I now know that it's a fairly simple transition.
It is in fact a holdover model...it 's titled as a 99 but actually has the grille and light setup from the previous year. Luckily, here in Los Angeles there are a half dozen salvage yards with the 90-98 base trucks just gathering dust.
i have a k2500 with the w/t front end and agree that i personally like it more. in this case though i think the original front end of the dually suited it better. to each their own though. also i recommend upgrading the lights on the dually if you use it at night. I converted my sealed beams to projector lenses capable of changing the bulbs and had silverstar ultras in them. worked great. recently swapped those out for 5x7 cree LEDs and the difference is crazy. they look cooler and are bright as hell.
Ya this guy goes on and on I got my 1995 Chevrolet thirty five hundred with the 6.5 turbo diesel I guess he picked up a mint dually it had a blown 6.5 so he goes and puts in a new motor I guess and someone steals it he was pretty upset can’t say I blame him it was fucking strait as a arrow mint not a mark on it he don’t like me I commented on taking off the oil filter it takes me 2 mins on my 4 by 4 6.5 dually he said it was hard and he did every thing to take it off I told him he must be a shitty mechanic a 5 min job even if it comes off hard so he hates me know that’s not the dually that got stolen maybe he did a insurance job cause I doubt he had it insured for much book value was prob shit I’d say it would be worth 15000 at least with a good motor sorry I had to vent this guy drives me nuts he sounds like he works for gm as a marketer or salesman lol I think he is backwards the dually looked way better with the original grill not he’s got the w/t work truck
That dually does look nice with that work truck front end. I thought it looked better. I was thinking of changing my headlights on my 95 W/T 1500. But after watching this video I think I'll just keep the 1 square glass headlight.
Great how to do it. Two suggestions, grill needs a bow tie and you could install some fog lamps in those two vacant openings in that chrome bumper............
@@HemiChrysler I lived there for 10 years, but returned to the US in 2013. I travel a lot and Prague is the most amazing city I have been in. Even after 10 years I still loved it. If you decide to go and need some tips, let me know I'd be happy to help.
Thank you for sharing your experience! I was teetering over switching my LS Suburban to single headlights and grill, for the same reason you mentioned. Also, the after market plastic headlight assemblies are crap. Sealed beams rock. Besides, one can always install upgrade sealed beam lamps.
I have a 2000 C3500 base model (single glass headlight) crew cab long bed 2WD. I think these trucks only came with a single horn. The fancy grille trucks have dual horns. The first horn is located in the center of the grille, the second horn is located on the passenger side, in-front of the battery. There are plenty of dual horn fancy grille trucks in the junkyards.
Great video. I prefer the single bulb base model/work truck grille. Looks better and ready to put in a good day of work. I could never get into the Silverado grille.
Ya I watch his videos watch the one we’re he gets a pristine dually it’s fucking mint it gets stolen after he puts a new motor in it he rambles on my 1995 one ton 3500 6.5 turbo diesel right down to last detail i do feel sorry for him that someone stole his dually maybe he’s got a chop shop ther lol a lot of shit around
@@jeffleblanc8850I don't know why, but I only saw your comment in January of 2024, 4 years after you posted it. I still have the dually featured in the video; it wasn't stolen. You may have confused me with someone else. I've had 3 vehicles stolen from my property, but always found and retrieved them, 2 pickup trucks, and a car. I have never had a dually stolen, and the Silverado in the video is always stored inside my building.
Um....even though this is four years old, it's STILL the internet. And I have no idea why it came across my feed, I still watched it. And you asked...but the Silverado is the high end of the Chevy trucks. They made it "different" for a reason. So that people could tell the difference between the two, I'm SURE of that one at least. But I'd personally never do that. It's like taking a v8 out, and putting a v6 in. I know, it doesn't make sense...now you got it..😉
My dream truck is a black extended cab short bed 88-98 chevy 1500, sometimes I see some cheap W/T models being sold around here, it's tempting to nab one cheap then try and convert it to the silverado lights and grille. To each their own, I personally like the silverado lights better. I'm just unsure how I'd even do the wiring. My dad swears by how reliable these trucks are...I currently have a 95 dodge ram 5.2 v8 and it gets me from point A to B but it needs a loose steering wheel fixed and possibly waterpump, it leaks a little coolant, and we all know how infamously bad the 2nd gen dodge ram transmissions are known for being....at 224k miles and no prior maintenance history known, it could be a ticking time bomb, but hey, it was only 800 bucks a couple months ago lol
I like both styles, but my 2 door 95 Tahoe has the chrome grille with the plastic headlights and the grille is falling apart. Both mounting brackets on top are cracked pretty badly. My parts truck has the base model style grille and sealed beam headlights. Looks like I'll be swapping them out since it looks so easy. Thanks for the video!
I am getting a new grille for my 1988 Chevy C3500 sealed beam tomorrow and was watching just on some tips to change out the grille. Than I see you painted the grille and I was thinking about painting mine black as well and not I am considering not.
Amen, brother! I actually prefer a chrome grille, BUT- Anything to get rid of damned plastic headlights and use clear, inexpensive glass ones! I just hit a deer with my Suburban, busted the grille and driver's side(plastic) headlight. Since I have to replace the grille, and at least 1 headlight, I want to just switch it over to base sealed beam glass headlights. I have loathed plastic headlights since they were introduced, especially on trucks. I think the plastic cloud-and-yellow lights debuted on the 1987 Ford full size trucks, as far as trucks go.
@@cameronmeyers3698 he mainly said it because the silverado variant is plastic everywhere while the base model has glass and metal. From that perspective I can understand why he says that, it shouldve been built opposite from the beginning with the silverado variant being the higher quality parts.
Thank you for posting this video. I bought a '94 Silverado just yesterday and was wondering if the radiator support would need to be changed to use the W/T grill and lights. Thanks again.
I recently changed the video title in an attempt to obtain more views. I noticed that a competitor video, newer than mine, had 10 times the views. Thank you for your kind comment.
@@HemiChrysler yes I'm working on.my 1997 Chev Cheyenne 1500 and was wondering why only 2 screws with the plastic screw holder if u will and one spring ....ln one of the light bezels now I know that factory also came with a spring lol thx again now onto the stupid horn button on steering wheel lol
I had those glass bulbs and i just drilled a hole with a diamnd tip hole cutter for glass and just shove an led light with high temp silicone and bomb led on a glass bulb.
The video is great but you seem to have left out something important. The higher end grille has a small secondary pigtail for the smaller orange side marker lights. There is no such pigtail on the square single setup. How did you resolve this?
I am reasonably confident that I simply demoted those lights to be reflectors. The smaller truck was traded, the following day, for a tri-axle trailer (see my winch on trailer video), and the new owner, _Grandpa Al_ simply didn't care about those side lights. Sadly, _Grandpa Al_ died soon afterward, but I think the truck was transferred to his son's ownership.
I always wanted somehow the front end of the Silverado because for my taste, it looks meaner. Till I only found plastic Headlights. No thanks to that 😅 Stayed with the original single Headlights for my '93 SportSide because it also reminds me more of a Squarebody Front End.
I have the base model Cheyenne. I have never been fond of the square headlight grills. After nearly 30 of having the truck I am finally getting around to changing to the Silverado grill, and I will upgrade to LED headlights as well.
I like both setups...but the plastic had to go. The chevy vans of that era that have 4 lights...have glass, sealed bulbs for all 4 lights. Those I like.
The Sealed beams have better light output after a few years than the plastic. Even if you clean up the oxidation on the outside of the plastic bulbs the vacuum plated reflector is not renewed so the light output suffers. The Black painted WT grille looks better IMHO. I have one on my 2000 GMC C2500. I did keep the Red GMC emblem. If you want the upmarket look with sealed beams get the 88 & 89 quad sealed beam setup. It'll bolt up just like the plastic lamps.
You can buy real nice after market led and grill inserts the higher end grill looks way better I have new headlights and taillights ther really not to expensive and they look one hundred percent better than the seal lights plus they blow easy if one goes in the other a bulb is cheaper to repair and faster
I've got a 94 Suburban with the Silverado grill and I hate the light pattern of the plastic lights. I'm seriously thinking of doing this same swap if I can find a W/T. The sealed beam headlights have a much better pattern.
You could just get a set of headlights and housings from a 88-89 Chevy and have the dual sealed beam...will still fit in any grill...gm made their trucks to be able to be worked on with parts from any other gm truck
Not to hate but I feel everyone prefers the the higher trim front end but I do agree with you I prefer glass headlight but I like the higher trim front so luckily the the 1988 has the dual split headlights like the 91 blazer / suburban
Fuck yeah you literally answered my question in your video thanks brother nice to see a English man that’s into full size pick ups or should I say Lorrys lol
@@HemiChrysler those sound completely different to me I’m American but I am gonna admit about a week go I was at a store the dude was an Englishman but certain words made it sound like he had an Aussie accent Do you think converting from the base trim single headlight to the 88 quad sealed beam headlight would be the same thing like I wouldn’t need to. Change the core support I have 98 gmc regular cab with the single headlight
@@Grabthembypussycat Yes, with the advantage that you don't need to change the grille. I have a 1995 Chevrolet wrecker, and have purchased 1988-89 double lights, from a salvage yard, for this truck.
@@HemiChrysler yeah i I personally like the 88-89 front end the most then the 90-93 I believe it looks similar to the 88-89 but has the composite headlight
Know post is old,gonna do the dame conversion back to sealed beam.Was wondering about the wiring.My composite headlights has 2 sets of wires hi/low.How are these 2 connections wired into the sealed beam 3 wire pigtail.Any help anyone can offer will be much appreciated
i think the truck you traded was really nice i have the same truck but i think the headlight you like look ugly but i mean if you like it and you think it looks good and make you happy the its a win
one question I have a 94 k2500 basic front end set up glass lamps. I want to convert it to the Silverado front end. could you explain the wiring part a little better? because I noticed when you turned on the headlights the brights and everything were on. was it wired wrong? or am I looking at it wrong?
_C/K_ is the model, examples : K2500 (3/4 ton, 4x4), C3500 (1 ton, RWD). The trucks in the video are C1500 and C3500. _Silverado_ was the top of the range trim/equipment option for the C/K series. On the successor trucks, beginning 1999, Silverado is the model name.
hello first of all i want to say thank you thank you for making this video i was pulling my hair thinking could this be done ok the one you took out of the blue truck i'm looking for that look now i have that glass light bulb type i have to say that blue dually dose look mean with that black paint ,,, i'm about to find a plastic lights set up for my dually so need to add on a another neg. for plastic head lights and that's all like say thanks you for all your help

The bottom line is that you like it better. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I have 98 chevy HD2500 and I love the simple look of the truck. You change the the grill to the blue and it looked awesome, Love it.

I just traded a 69 c20 for a 95 c1500 with the single headlights. I was just curious about the parts swap ability.
Exactly the info I needed, I’ve been wanting to swap the single set up on to my k1500 suburban silverado. Now I know I can. Time to hit the junk yard.
I really liked the swap out. It is amazing to see it. I appreciate the work it takes to make something look nice. Thanks for the learning experience!
i like both front ends but very much enjoyed the video, glad to know the core support is the same as i may swap mine one day.
Excellent video very well spoken clear and well explained. I wish more creators had your style of teaching
I probably don't deserve it, but I'll take it. Thank you so much.
you made the maroon truck way better than the blue I wouldn't trade it :(
You're crazy! The glass lights never fade and the light options are better.
@@d.9257 on a sealed beam if you crack the housing the gas leaks and the filament will die. The same cannot be said about the plastic

This is a pretty good self shot vid. Getting a 1991 cheyenne WT and also plan to swap to the upmarket front end. Thanks for the info.
I'm about to do the opposite swap on a 92 so I can hopefully upgrade to LEDs.
There's led versions for those headlights too
Will you post a video of how to and how easy it it
I love it! I have a 98 with that grill and I love the old grills to
🤣
My dad had a 1995 chevy cheyenne 3500 dually amd it came with the headlights you switch yours too and I love the look way better

shouldve paint matched the grill on the dually, the one black part on that truck sticks out like a sore thumb.

30 years ?
@@HemiChrysler Yep. Bought it in 91.
Great job! Thank you
I like both setups...but the plastic had to go. The chevy vans of that era that have 4 lights...have glass, sealed bulbs for all 4 lights. Those I like.
U did great job
the most difficult element of a job is most often the effort of recording and editing it. I'm guilty of not recording most of my jobs.
my favorites are the 88-89 silverado setup and the gmc w/t setup
MET-TECH LLC are the twin glass 88 89 lights sealed assemblies like the w/t ones?
The Sealed beams have better light output after a few years than the plastic. Even if you clean up the oxidation on the outside of the plastic bulbs the vacuum plated reflector is not renewed so the light output suffers.
The Black painted WT grille looks better IMHO. I have one on my 2000 GMC C2500. I did keep the Red GMC emblem.
If you want the upmarket look with sealed beams get the 88 & 89 quad sealed beam setup. It'll bolt up just like the plastic lamps.
You can buy real nice after market led and grill inserts the higher end grill looks way better I have new headlights and taillights ther really not to expensive and they look one hundred percent better than the seal lights plus they blow easy if one goes in the other a bulb is cheaper to repair and faster
Did the same swap on my Suburban and used the european square lights. The euro ones are way better than the sealed beams.
GREAT VIDEO! THANKS!
sweet i like the base
Way better. I'm trying find out if I can fit front end off a 89 to a 97.
Yes, I'm fitting the 88-89 headlights to my 1995. It's definitely possible.
I have the same mooron cheyenne wt and i wanted to take that ugly grey front end off it thank you for the video im going to be taking it off
Let me know if it was easy and what was needed
I've got a 94 Suburban with the Silverado grill and I hate the light pattern of the plastic lights. I'm seriously thinking of doing this same swap if I can find a W/T. The sealed beam headlights have a much better pattern.
You could just get a set of headlights and housings from a 88-89 Chevy and have the dual sealed beam...will still fit in any grill...gm made their trucks to be able to be worked on with parts from any other gm truck
how do you do all the harnessing?
Nailed it 💯🤟🏼
I'm betting if you went a bit further back on the wiring harness you can just unplug the harnesses and swap them
I like it. Good vid!
I think that the swap is great but it would look better with the led sealed headlights.
I later switched to glass headlights with removable halogen bulbs and coloured LED accents. I can represent the design as ( O ).
Question: are you an English man living in the US or do you live in the UK and just have a collection of American trucks?
I'm British, currently living in Indiana.
@@HemiChrysler Nice! Props to replying to such and old video!
So did it bolt up the same way ? I have a 97' but I want that old grille look, I have previously took off the grille before so it's pretty easy to me
Will Heisel how bout the wiring from “W/T” to Silverado lights? How did you do it???
OMG!!! Is it just me or does this guy sound like Alfred Hitchcock???😂😂😂 Great video though!! Thumbs up!!!
Not to hate but I feel everyone prefers the the higher trim front end but I do agree with you I prefer glass headlight but I like the higher trim front so luckily the the 1988 has the dual split headlights like the 91 blazer / suburban
Hey, can you explain the wiring, I'm not understanding what I need to do
i prefer the " up model " ones, i have them in my 98 suburban but mine are all glass no dull faded plastic crap
Composite lights will always look better to me
i agree blue truck with base model headlights are better
Idk why but im still not understanding the branching of the negative wire
I have a Suzuki intruder too great bike
How did u get the headlights off the duelly to fit on the base model with out drilling holes
I am going to do the upgrade grill to my 1993 gmc sierra c3500 dually
which direction ?
I do like the look of the sealed beam units as well my uncle had a maroon one like the one in the vid it was nice
How did you wire the single headlights to the Silverado dually? I’ve been looking for a dual to single headlight harness but no luck so far
Rewatch the video, one 1 set he said you have to branch the 2 grounds together, on the other you have 1 ground that goes to nothing.
Love it wanting to do it mine

Do you think converting from the base trim single headlight to the 88 quad sealed beam headlight would be the same thing like I wouldn’t need to. Change the core support I have 98 gmc regular cab with the single headlight
@@Grabthembypussycat Yes, with the advantage that you don't need to change the grille. I have a 1995 Chevrolet wrecker, and have purchased 1988-89 double lights, from a salvage yard, for this truck.
@@HemiChrysler yeah i I personally like the 88-89 front end the most then the 90-93 I believe it looks similar to the 88-89 but has the composite headlight
Would the bottom lights from the original grille fit into the "new" less cluttered grille?
No
Know post is old,gonna do the dame conversion back to sealed beam.Was wondering about the wiring.My composite headlights has 2 sets of wires hi/low.How are these 2 connections wired into the sealed beam 3 wire pigtail.Any help anyone can offer will be much appreciated
i think the truck you traded was really nice i have the same truck but i think the headlight you like look ugly but i mean if you like it and you think it looks good and make you happy the its a win
MET-TECH LLC ya my truck is a 4.3 v6 too
Improvement!!!!
one question I have a 94 k2500 basic front end set up glass lamps. I want to convert it to the Silverado front end. could you explain the wiring part a little better? because I noticed when you turned on the headlights the brights and everything were on. was it wired wrong? or am I looking at it wrong?
What's the difference between c/k and a silverado?
_C/K_ is the model, examples : K2500 (3/4 ton, 4x4), C3500 (1 ton, RWD). The trucks in the video are C1500 and C3500. _Silverado_ was the top of the range trim/equipment option for the C/K series. On the successor trucks, beginning 1999, Silverado is the model name.
