I picked up a '95 grille to swap onto my '97 Max, but the bumpers are slightly different. There is a gap on the bottom where the grille is supposed to rest on the bumper. I need to replace the bumper anyways do to paint damage. Can I attach a '95 bumper or just get one for a '97?

 

the front ends are different, so you would have switch the grill and bumper plus the lights are slightly different in the corners. search, i know there's a few threads on the front end conversion.

 

Yes, the bumper fits or you can modify the grille.
