Grille swap

Grille swap
I am doing a piece by piece restoration of sorts on the old Dodge and I really like the look of the newer '92/93 grille. I am wondering, have any of you have tried to fit the newer grille into the mid 80's trucks? Mine is an '88 so it has the plain square gray plastic grille. It looks like a pretty much direct swap and the outlines look the same, but I'm a little gunshy to just buy one. Any thoughts?

Haha I prefure the older grills, the 92-93 grills are sucky plastic pieces of ****. The chrome peels , they crack easy, and they are pretty expensive. I've always wondered if any of the older grills would mount to my truck with the intercooler. I really like the 1979 with the double headlight and it's metal

Look closer at that 78ish, and I think that bodystyle is alltogether different. The fenders are more rounded and they lack the creased body line at the top. The marker lights appear to mount in the body, and not the grille. I would love to see someone put that grille in a newer truck, but I say no way it bolts right in.
