Welcome to the show. I believe most not all but most from I think 89-99 will fit. Minus the DENALI not sure when that model came out. Poor memory.
Some one else will have a more definate answer.

Not sure about the 1500's, but the grilles on the 3500's were the same from '89 to '99, and pretty cheap too. Shipping will be at least twice the price of the grille. Found that out trying to buy one for my GMC. Grille was $31 and shipping was $86

Welcome to the forum and howdy from TEXAS. I have a question new member when you remove the grill do the headlights stay on or do you have to remove them to get the grill off? I'm trying to get to my horn in the grill.
Thanks! GMC
PS-Sorry for hi******* your first post but it's sounds like a good time to ask since your doing that removing the grill and my truck is a 1993 GMC.

I didn't have to remove the headlights on my '94 Silverado When I removed my broken grill. I replaced it with one from a '93 GMC. Bolted in like it should.

I pulled mine when I rear ended a corolla guess who won

I believe that in 93 and newer they extended the grill at the bottom to make it a one piece. I know I had to buy a little extra trim piece if you will to fill the gap. the original had it to but that's the only difference I believe. But the dimensions should be the same.

I think the newer ones went away with this, to a solid grill piece.

It's easy to get off GMC... Four screws at the top, one just above the badge, two behind the turn signals (remove them first and let the sockets hang). Then there's three clips built into the grill along the bottom edge that have to be released. One behind each turn signal that are easy to reach, and one dead center at the bottom that I used a broken fiberglass CB antenna (dang trees!) to reach.

I don't know about the 1500's, but my '99 C3500 has it. You can see it in the pics I did when I painted mine.
