Putting a newer style grill on a 96?

I have a 1996 Blazer that the front was just damaged, the grill and light was broken. I was thinking about replacing the complete front look with a 1999 or newer. I looked and found the hood and finders are the same but the inner radator support was not. Has anybody here done this or knows anything about doing this swap?

I wanted to do this last summer i have a 97 and i wanted to put on the GMC 99+ front end w/ a denali grill. I have seen some where on cardomaine a guy had a 96 may be, 2dr blazer and put a 99+ front end on it. He said it was a pain in the butt, but its worth it. Sorry no help, but it has been done so keep lookin. If u get any luck let me know id liek to give it a shot
