Updated 09/29/2025 | Published 05/13/2025
Question:
i have a 2012 dodge ram 1500 I got a westin sportsman grill guard, however it came off a 2019 Chevy. Will the brackets - part number 40-354PK - work for me to be able to attach this grill guard to my truck. The bolt holes are located a little differently then the westin grill guard made for my truck model. If not please advise which brackets I can use, or if can ever make them fit the guard designed for a 2019 Chevy. .. Bottom line how to I install a sportsman grille guard made for a 2019 Chevy on to a 2012 ram 1500. I bought it thinking I could make it work. Please advise. i included a pic of the grill guard im trying to install on my 2012 Ram 1500

Hey Garvin, the problem is that the guards and the hardware kits are both made to fit the specific vehicle it was made for so there isn't a way to adapt a guard from one truck to fit another by just swapping the hardware kit.
You might have to have a fabricator come up with a set of custom brackets if you are dead set on using that guard.
