I have searched and found alittle info on this but was wondering if anyone knows of someone or even did it themseles . I love the look of the 80's front end, early to mid 80's. Was wondering if possible to swap to that front end, just the appearance aspect, not the suspension and such. I figure its a good bit of work if possible. Of course I could just go look for that year f150 and be done hah.

 

i've seen it done. but the front wheel wells won't match the rear ones so it doesn't look quite right

 

Thanks I was thinking about that myself. I'll probably just stay happy with what I got, maybe get lucky and find a nice 80's 150 down the road. I just love how they look with a billet grille and all. My dad has a '82 250 custom but it needs a ton of work still and I am sure he won't part ways with that when work is done

 

yeah i think it'd be best to find one and fix er up nice yourself

 

If you do the swap you will need the 80-86 radiator support and some rework of the brackets for the bumbers to work.
Met a guy at the JY who was doing the swap and it looked good. He had a 93 extended cab and a short flareside box with a 83 Bronco nose.
I think the 80-86 is the best looking truck Ford made. Same with the 75-91 E Vans
