No, it's not the same upper grill, but, as he asked, it will fit. The headlights are what's different. US headlights are 2 round - up to '85 and 4 square from '86 - '91, so he would be forced to change it all over, to be able to use the '86 upper grill. All lower grills are the same.

I'd expect an 82 diesel to take any year's lower grill, but can't say for sure. -- Regards Andrew Grebneff Dunedin New Zealand Fossil preparator Mollusc, Toyota & VW van fan |
