Re: '73-'80 Front Clip Swap on '80-'87 Cab

What parts you need will depend on what grill you want to run as well. If your going to go with the early style 73-74 grill you will need specific support brackets. Be forewarned that no one make a replacement grill for 73-74 so you will have to find a good used one.

I disagree that you can't find clean cabs in our area, as I see them frequently. What you will have trouble locating is a rust free 73-80 passenger side fender. The battery run off eats the front up, and the a/c drain rusts out the rear.

An alternative is to contact Capt Kaos and have him sell you an aftermarket unit. I bought one from him and they are a quality item.
