I was wondering if it is possible to convert an older SD front end to a 2005 with out alot of hassle. Is it possible to do a bolt on conversion or is there some cut and pasting involved?

 

to my knowledge the header panel must be replaced, along with the surround and obviously the grille....in other words...yes there is some cutting and pasting to do

 

Look here for a great write up with pics. Doesn't seem too difficult.

Are you talking about the suspension or the sheet metal ???

HeavyAssult hit it right on the head I was looking to change over the sheet metal. Heavy did you do the conversion yourself? How long did it take

 

No I have considered doing the swap, but it's just a matter of money. I have had the front of my truck torn apart. I would guess about 6+ hours would do the trick. From the site I posted it seems as it is all bolt-in stuff.
