I hope early in the summer. The parts should be more attainable by then as well. I can drive the F150 in the summer.

I did a search and found this thread;
https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/6...ersion+clip+08

There is a link to a thread on another forum that has some details of a swap.

Good luck,

I love the idea, I think the 08 grill looks great on the older SD's and doing this to an Excursion would be awesome. BT we are expecting our 4th child and are now looking for an Excursion so this is really intresting to me. This is something I would do if it is not way over the top.

I like it, but I will not spend the cash for the upgrade. Worst case.. I get in an front end collision, I would upgrade then.

Did someone take matters into their own hands?

While over on the Super Duty thread someone posted a link to a response I posted that had links to an AutoTrader.com search he did. I was looking at the different listings of 2008 & 2009 F250's I found this listing;

Click on the link below or copy it into your browser to see the 2008 Ford F250 4x4 Crew Cab Super Duty!

Looks like someone needed some parts to do an '08 conversion!
