So i have a 2000 f350 powersmoke

I wanna do a front end swap

the most common one is the 05-07 grille headlight bumper swap

the newest thing is the 08+ swap

i have alot of plans for this truck and for the most part chelsea (my mustang) is on hold due to our long distance relationship

i found a whole front clip of an 08 for 800 bucks (which is about 1/5 of the normal price) the current owner says he lost interest but i have yet to look at the clip.

im leaning towards the 05-07 cause its tried and true but im itching for something new

BTW i just put on a 5inch exhuast :boner:

hmmmm ...just read you have to hack some of the frame to fit the 08+ swap, not really liking the idea anymore

if you do the front end swap all you really need to do is just cut the header panel from an 99-04 to fit the 05 stuff... I know this because of my Harley Truck Build

I say the 05-07 Front. I don't like the 08+ much... look wise at least. Them double turbos do make me smile.
