Front end conversion question
I know that when you put a 73-80 front end on a 81-87 truck you need the front of the frame from a 73-80 for the bumper.
My question is hom much of the frame do I need?

Re: Front end conversion question
IIRC it's only the first few inches that are different. It's just the part that actually conforms to the bumper itself.

Re: Front end conversion question
I bet you could make a "L" bracket that could bolt to the lower part of the frame and the bumper.
