I know it's been a while since you have done the conversion, but do you happen to remember what brackets, clips and screws are different? Did you replace any ducts as well or used the old ones? I already bought the bumper, upper bumper trim, grill and shutter assembly. I still need to get my lights and the headlight bracket. does the new bumper mount directly to the same spots as the original?

I didn’t buy any screws or clips since I have a ton of them from previous trucks. The bumper needs all brackets and rubber trim.
new front fender flares or you can cut your old ones like an inch short.
bumper mounts the same
the 18 has these two ducts that connect the fender liner and upper valence bracket. You don’t need them.
just go to tasca parts and look up the 18 front end

awesome, thanks for the info. the bumper I got was a fully finished factory take off with everything still attached so I guess I should be able to bolt it right up, I just wasnt sure about the duct work. Thanks again, and beautiful build!
