Agreed!

Not pushing the blue color as some may think, but cutting in the door jambs is time consuming to get it right, but to each their own.;Sweet

Well I was thinking about going red but i do like that two toe blue and white.

Ya i used the 92 rad support just unbolted it at the doors and body mounts and out it comes, and the cowl to. The electrical was super easy i just threw the wiring harnes on the engine and put it back in place on the new front end. Even the light socket plugs were the same. so it was a plug and play but i do have to splice in the corner lights and the horns

i guess what i was asking is , will my 89 style rad support work with the late style front end or does it have to be modified? the guy has a front clip from an f150 gasser, he says it will bolt right up but my concern is the bigger rad on the diesel.

It's easier to swap a brick nose. If you swap an 80-86 truck then you essentially have to swap the bed out as well so the fenders match. Some people dont care, but I'm a little OCD and it would drive me nuts. I did a swap on my 85 as the bed was rusty and the front fenders were beaten.

hmmmm how well does that plastic and vinyl spray paint work for interiors, looks like it would scratch easy and look like crap
