48/52 front end compatibility question

Does anyone know for a sure that a 1951/52 grill and fenders will bolt to a 48-50 cab? I know the fenders won't bolt to the grill. I want to use a 1952 front end on my 48 cab.

As long as you use everything from the cowl forward from the later model, it works. Inner fenders and hood included. You have to adapt the later inner fenders to the cowl if you use '52 parts, read here: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post17106634

Yes, Ross is correct. Here is my 1950 F2 with 1952 front end.
