Title: 03-07 front end conversion kit for 73-87s?
Post by: nucknoel89 on November 15, 2011, 11:30:48 pm: Hey guys, I remember a while back seeing a thread about some company that made a fibreglass front end for 73-87s that incorported the 03-07 headlights and grille, but I can't remember if it was here or fullsizechevy.com. Anyone remember what thread it was? I tried searching to no avail. Oh, and don't worry, I'm not getting it, I just wanted to see it again.

Hmmm, I guess I'll have to do some more digging cause I'm 99% sure I saw it somewhere. It was really expensive though.
