Slantnose Conversion

[MidnightBlade]

What all parts would I need to convert my Bricknose to a Slantnose.

I have some parts figured out but don't knw what all I need.
Parts I know I need:
Front fenders
Hood
Grill/Headlight Assy.
Rad support?????

I'm only worried about things on the front of the truck, the back is all aluminum now

windshield cowl. the lines may not line up. see pic. yours will be the direct opposite on what you see. hood will have a raised line and the cowl will be flat.

I'll have to keep you in mind when deals pop up. I only had 2 minutes to decide if i wanted the clip, it was already on his trailer loaded for junk..

If any of you PA members come across a slantnose front clip that's realitively rust free let me know.

I converted mine from OBS to Slantnose late this summer. I used the diesel OBS lower hoop with my gas slant nose upper support. That works really well; just a lot of spot welds to drill out. Also, you're going to want to use a cut off wheel to notch and bend the lower flange on the fenders so they will bolt up to your cab. You'll see what I mean when you get your parts together. Everything else is simple. I had the front clip on and off a few times.
