Silverado 2014-15 to 2016-18 Conversion Question

[jonnypaste]

I love the forum, I’m really appreciative of all the helpful information I’ve gleaned on here. However, I’m in the process of rounding up parts to convert my 2014 Silverado front to the 16-18 and am wondering which radiator access cover to use? Apparently the part number on the 2016’s (23318844) is different from the one used on the 2017’s & 2018’s (84087027). Can anyone tell me what’s the difference and which one to use? Hoping some of you that have done the conversion could enlighten me.

Thanks for the reply Frankielozano214. You have a sharp lookin truck. Mine is also a silver 2014 Silverado 1500 LT. And yes, I got a harness from Phil already on the way!

You betcha! I ended up doing a black bowtied High Country grille with a chrome LTZ bumper.  I ended up finding a matched pair of HID headlights from a 2017 with 21,000 miles on them with bulbs locally for $750. I wanted to go LED, but couldn’t pass them up.

Will do! Hopefully will get it done in the early summer. Had fun converting the front end on my 2009 Silverado 1500 LT.

Ltz frontend caught my eye but had to much chrome had to get the bumper color matched glad all parts are interchangeable between the 2014/15 to the 2016-18 Silverado, I had the LT headlights/grill but I sold them and bought the LTZ headlights/grill for same price so it worked out good for me.

Yeah, I’d say so. That’s a good deal.
