Don't know what color your truck is or if they have the same color in 2009+ so you wouldn't have to paint the parts, but if you can find a damaged, flooded or high mileage '09 at a salvage auction that still runs, it might satisfy the HOA and could swap the front parts. I'm assuming if '09 fits '06, you can also go in reverse.

Found one like:

Yea I got a letter because they could see about 2 inches of trash can on the side of my house. I have the infamous Oxford white and that truck would be perfect. Wonder how much that one will go for?

Since we are on the discussion of 09+ conversion. You guys think a 09+ steering wheel will fit a 04-08? Find one with basic radio controls and cruise control.

No idea what that one would bring other than a wild guess. Looks like a flood car but it says clear title. Maybe $4000 to $6000.

Heres a better pic, not sure if my profile pic is clear enough...but for the most part everything bolted up, I did make bolt spacers for the bumper and headlights, I didn't need to get the newer radiator support, I made it work with bolt spacers and drilling a new hole in the existing support where the 09 headlights bolt pattern located... I also had to grind down a few areas on the inner of the fenders as well as some areas on the top where the fenders bolt under the hood.. I had to grind down the bull horns on the front and I removed the tow hooks so the bumper sat where it needed to align with the upper bumper and fenders, I could send more pics and better detail explanation thru text if that's ok... it's not too convenient to go back and forth thru the forums...

my number 215-834-4654 glad to help anyway I can...

will the interior from the 09 fit the 04 as far as seats and dash and so on? And also the bed?

You're in the wrong forum, and what you want to do would never work

if you could just get similar headlights to the 2018 and change only the upper bumper plastic and grill it would be awsome
