Awesome truck, I really want those headlights for my '18 halogen... Can you tell us which fender flares those are? I want some like that but in Leadfoot.

Paramount flares for a 15-17. I had to cut them and shape them to fit a 2018

Good for you! I’ve had my ‘67 Fastback since 1990. It’s a labor of love.

I know the factory flairs are shorter on the 2018, if that helps. In this thread thread the op installed aftermarket flairs on a 2018.

Rough country has the pocket style fender flares for a 2018 here: http://www.roughcountry.com/rc-ford-...-f-f11811.html

I'm thinking about getting some and having a body shop paint to match them on my leadfoot '18

I saw that RC makes them, but I'm looking for something around 1.5" tire coverage. 2" coverage from RC would make my wheel and tires look tucked in.

So I guess I will bump this thread. Im trying to put together a list of all the parts needed to do the swap. Would you mind listing what parts are needed? Obviously bumper, bumper filler panel, headlights, and grille, but I want to make sure I get all the little clips and bolts that may be needed as well. Also I may be missing some parts. I was planning on putting a spreadsheet together of all the parts to do a complete swap and then I will publish it for everyone to use to try to help out. If you could let me know what parts I may have missed that would be awesome!
