Precise1 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 As long as the 89 is a TBI injected 2 door, I'm betting there would be no issue?? One good double check is to go to a parts site (like rockauto or courtesyparts or something) and look up the parts you want to exchange to see if there are different listings/part numbers for the different years. It's not a perfect check, but a good place to start. B BTW, isn't that Steeevo's truck?? (ruggedrocks.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimGreg Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 The switch part should interchange with any year, I have the electrical end off of a 94 in my 88, and it was the exact same as the original 88 one, same connector even, which was the biggest shock.
