yes they bolt right in but you will need to drill a hole for the spare tire. ohh and please try to do a search through the forum before you make a new topic. There are countless threads (some with pics) on the swap.

That said, the search function is great as long as one knows how to use it. A lot of times, folks just need a quick answer to a question and a good answer beats being told to do a search.

Not sure about the 05-07 trucks wiring but I know when I swapped the 08 + rear bumper on to my truck, I had to use the wiring and maybe the lights from my 03 because of it, thats with the rear sensors in the bumper

That's not the way I read his response. Didn't seem like he was trying to do anything but say thanks.

Also, searching the forums is always a good idea, however I dont find the FTE search very helpful unless you know the title of the thread you are looking for. Instead I use google and would search "bumper swap + Ford truck enthusiasts" then if that didnt yield any results, I start my own thread. Not a fool proof method, but at least I have gone to reasonable lengths to find my own answer.
In this case, the search results are saturated with 99 to 05 swap threads, so to someone who was unfamiliar with how the trucks all fit eachother, even google would not yield a result, therefor, I deem this a reasonable thread. I dont mind answering these questions for new guys, gotta make them feel welcome!

Sarcasm is hard to read. Especially when people are from all over the country and people talk differently. I know I have butted heads with people because I said something that means one thing to me and something else to someone else.

+1 People here ought to loosen up. This is a great forum for experienced as well as the inexperienced, let's keep it that way and welcome all who seek knowledge...
