I just want to know your guys thoughts on trying to swap out the front end tin the fenders the hood the grill everything, for the mid to late 70's front end.... just wan to know some thoughts on this
80-86 front clip is the same, 87-91, then 92-96. The sheetmetal between those year groups are the same. If you want to swap a whole clip, you can go from 80-96 and it bolts up to any cab from those years. Doors are the same in each of those groups, the only differences being the vent window and door latch handle mechanism, plus the original door panel inside, but with a little modification, any interior door panel can also be used.
Visual difference between 80-86 and the rest is that the earlier version has the indent at the wheel well, while the rest of the years has a flare there.
Boxes trade across the board from 80-96 with the same visual difference. Tail lights are also a change in the same age groups.
why? i though your body was perfectly ok. and its gonna take ALOT of work non of the mounts will be right. the electronics wont swap over. tons of issues with it. and another thing is... is finding a dentside up there without alot of rust is gonna be tough.
the truck body is in mint condition virtually rust free im practically deleting all the electronics going back to a carbed motor " BASICS".... yea thinin about it now itll be a ton o work and finding a cab would be very hard ill probably leave it or upgrade to a newer front clip
