Can I use front end parts from a 91 deville to replace parts on a 89? I know they are on the same frame, i just wanna make sure everything i use will bolt up properly or would i need to do some mods... Please help soon, I have a 1991 deville that I have to buy for parts by Friday, but if I can't use it, I wont buy it.

THANKS!

Check rockauto to see if the parts you need have the same part numbers. I think they actually tell you what vehicles a certain part will fit but it doesn't always list all the vehicles. I still have to compare part numbers sometimes.

thanks! some of the parts are the same numbers, others are not but i may be able to modify them to make them work. I hope so. I don't want to waste my money buying this car, and not being able to use half of the parts.

GM has a really nasty habit of moving changing up the trim every year. Stuff like hood chrome, armrests, underdash, [...] just won't interchange because the nut is 1/4th inch offset from the previous year for no apparent reason. This isn't as much of a problem with chassis and suspension stuff but fair warning on the trim parts they probably will not interchange.

Ok, luckily I really do not need trim pieces. Just stuff like core support and headlight brackets and stuff. Hopefully it will all work out.

You should switch out the hood too so you can get that nice power dome

I did switch hoods! i just have some more aligning to do, but its looking pretty good

Awesome, the power dome looks a lot better, don't you think?
