fender swaps

would front fenders from an 87 or so bolt onto the next generation (94+ I think) with the fancier front end?

Bodystyle breakdown is '80-'86, '87-'91, '92-'96. I haven't tried it, but from what I have seen of them, I imagine that an '87-91 fenders/hood/grille would go on a '92-96 truck and vice-versa. Maybe somebody here has tried it?

I don't think it would. I think it's close, but the front of the hood's bend is different. Not quite sure though, but I really don't think it will work.

No, don't waste your time. Totally different. A complete doghouse will fit but not just the fenders.

They will interchange from style to style but you have to change EVERYTHING from the firewall forward to make it work. I am in the process of putting a 96 frontend on my (slightly kissed) 91 3/4 ton. All I need to finish the job is a bumper.

13th is correct. I have a freind with a 84 frame, 88 cab, and and a 93 front clip. You do have to change the entire frontclip, including the core support.

You guys think that's a lot of work? Sound like it might not be too hard, just may take a day or so. But the new look is worth it!!!

yeah, you are right, but who'd want to make their truck look older thank it really is?? Beats me. Somebody that likes the older style better??

He could have the parts readily available, who knows. I have a complete 90 doghouse on my parts truck but I think I would pay for a 96 should anything happen to mine.
