Front Clip Swap
 
1 Attachment(s)
I have been tossing around the idea of swapping the front of my '86 C-10 (2wd, short bed) with the front of a '73-'80 (probably '77). I have searched but I haven't found any information on the swap. Can anyone shed any light or point me in the right direction?

Just get the front end, radiator, core support, hood
Take everything off your front end,
Put the 73-80 fenders on, then the core support, might have to move the code support forward a inch or back, you will need to take the 81-87 cowl off yours and also get the 73-80 wiper linkage, and swapthem, you might have to cover up your old hood hinge holes, since on the 73-80 front ends the spring and hood hinge is on the fenders, I think that's about it
I might have forgotten something
