Front end conversion?

Hey i have noticed some similarities between the my 84 f150 and the next generation body style after mine. So i was just curious if it was possible to swap out my front lights and fenders for the newer wrap around light style.

1987 thru 96, yes you can, but you need to change the complete front clip as one piece, you need to modify the lower rear fender mounting, and the later front bumper will not bolt directly onto the front of your older frame.
