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

what do you guys think

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.

yeah the headlight pig tails don't match up exactly but thats an easy fix too....thats why im thinkin the 05-07 swap is golden
