Talking Need some suggestions im New

Ok so i just bought my first Ford truck last night. 85 F350 4x4 460 4spd. with 8.5' plow and dump bed. Dump bed is toast. thinkin bout tryin to salvage the dump part and build a flat bed. im looking for suggestions, as i am new to fords. ive got a full shop with miller welder and all kinds tools. what all can i do as far as front clip swaps and such. any direct bolt ons? dont wana lift it or anything, i wana keep it for towing my boat and to haul the 4 wheelers around. i would like to make it look alil newer if u know what i mean.
Any suggestions would be helpful. Oh and i want to keep it on a decent budget.

You can go to the boneyards and get the front clip off anything till 96. But you"ll need everything. Headlights, grill, bumper and so fourth. Most of your newer trucks up till 96 are bolt on upgrades. With little or no mods. So happy hunting.
