Front clip swap
I was wanting to know if it is possible to swap out an 83 front grille and headlights for a grille and headlights from a 72?? I am very curious. Please help. Thanks.

Re: Front clip swap
72 is a different body style, theres a lot of fab work to get that clip on your truck. Plus IMO, don't think it will look good at all.

Re: Front clip swap
The short answer is NO, but anything can be done with lots of fab work. The 72 front clip will work on 67-72's but not on 73-87's
