Just asking
« on: February 11, 2013, 08:54:28 am »
I was wondering if anyone has put a 73-80 front end on a 81-87 style truck but kept the hood and cowl from the 81-87?   I've seen whole front end swapped with fabrication needed to switch over. Just curious.  I like the older style front clips

Pretty much.   I had a 73 20+ years go.  Always liked that look.

73-80 / 81-87 complete nose swap. You can't mix and match parts across the years difference.
