1990 7.3 IDI Body Parts Question

[smokinporsche]

I have a simple question, what is the difference in the 1990 front-end body parts and a 1992 F-Series? They look the same or they might have a more rounded front nose. I was just wondering, it would be nice to know what would interchange between the two body styles such as lights, bumpers, etc.

Just a guess but I'd say you could interchange everything, but you'd probably have to do the whole clip to make anything work.

[Edit] Sorry for the huge pics, just linked from the wiki article showing all generations of F-series trucks

You will have to change the whole front clip including the radiator support. http://72.18.199.92/~fullsize/forum/showthread.php?t=43266 This guy did the swap on his bronco.

As was already said, everything is differant.....Except the way it bolts on, you can bolt a whole 92 front clip on a 91 with little to no modification, My truck has a 94' cab with a 91 front clip, It was just a bolt on thing, I used the 91' clip because thats what I had, I would much rather have the 92' and up front clip. -Brad-

Yep, exactly right

Thanks for all the great advice! Next quest is finding that $350.00 clip

Make sure the radiator support you buy is off of a diesel. A 92+ Gas truck support is totally different than a 92 diesel truck support(and this applies to all three body styles--or at least this has been my experience.)
