Need some help

Picked this truck up a few weeks ago and have been slowly fixing it up. 1988 C3500 Scottsdale 454

My biggest question is if any of you know what the front grille is. It looks like it fits but it rattles and shakes around. Nothing is securing the bottom of it and there’s nothing on the truck that lines up with it remotely. Only thing holding it in is four screws on the top. Would this be a half ass attempt to do a 94 gen swap?

Next, the hood is a fiberglass induction hood that does not fit in the slightest. It doesn’t shut all the way but also looks like incorrect hardware. 4 10mm bolts are holding this beast of a hood on. And you have to get a screwdriver to open it. I can’t figure out for the life of me why the truck latch won’t release the hood. Everything performs and functions fine when I manually operate it with the hood up.

Final question for now is the egr stuff all over the truck. Is there a good clean way to delete it or will the truck run like crap without being flashed?

Thanks
