2001 front clip on a 2005

My friend has a 2005 Ranger and he hit a deer and needs a front clip...I have a 2001 that I'm thinking of parting out we were just wondering if we swapped the whole thing. Header panel, radiator support, fenders, hood, bumper, valance everything would it pretty much plug and play . Thanks

The radiator supports and lights are the same. The header panel and grille are different. The grills and hoods need to be the same style. Mismatched hood and grille will result in either the hood hitting the grille, or a large gap between them. The bumper valence may be different, but will bolt right up and work fine. The fenders are nearly identical, but will be missing the lower outer mount hole for the header panel. You can drill the hole once the header is in place and use a nut and bolt.
