Is it possible to put a 1985 front end on a 1995?
 
I've always thought that those front ends looked cool and i'm only asking because my front end is smashed to bits.
Any answers would be much appreciated.

Anything is possible with enough determination, effort, time, & money. But it will never look "right" because the body lines are different.

Okay then, thank you for the reply
You have any idea if it would just bolt on for a test fit.

When I bought my 87 it had an 83 front clip on it. It was obvious that something was not right, but it covered the engine and held the lights in place. I found an 88 front clip on Craigs list and put it back as right as possible, the whiskey dents in that one are forever.

Everything but the bumper will bolt on, if you take enough "correct" parts off. Everything forward of the windshield is specific to the body style ('80-86, '87-91, '92-96).

Everything matches up perfectly if you change the whole front clip except the bumper.
But your rear wheel wells will be different from your front ones.

That's good to know I was planning on putting on a flatbed anyway, It's rusted beyond repair and was hit by a tractor.
Thank you!
