conversions
i am thinking about doing 2 conversions to my truck, or leaving it alone, im not sure which one yet. this is my truck
 i want to put this front end on it.  or this one  i would like to know/see if anyone did this or if its even possible? on a scale on 1-10 how hard would the conversion be, 10 being hardest.

Re: conversions
the suburban clip is easy, you keep your fenders, and get a new core support and grille, etc..its easy enough a member has his put together with wing nuts so he can change it back in forth lol
the second truck isnt as easy, you need new fenders, hood, and core support, plus i believe you need to modify the cab.

Re: conversions
No modify the cab for round eye conversion. You have to cut the cab when updating round eye to square eyes.

Re: conversions
heres some pictures of my conversion, found it way easier to do a full clip then just core support, but that depends on what your going to do, my truck is in primer, so it didnt matter

Re: conversions
thanks for that. im not sure if i want to convert mine, its mostly a work truck/daily driver (when i get it fixed, lol) and i am not sure if i want to spend the money to buy the clip and do the work to the front. i know i need a new grille though, previous owner smashed it up.
^^ do you still have that grille from your old front clip?

Re: conversions
You can buy a new grille for 35 to 40 bucks.
