Re: front end conversion

Some look ok. I seen one that was on CL. Had a 99-02? Front clip off a truck, stepside bed off same truck, and wing windows welded up. Was so ugly some of the girls I've slept with were better looking, SOBER! Not a good thing. With a lot of work it can look good and flow but personally i don't like em. Some people do though like the 88-98 front baja style.
