Red face Flip front end ?

I have a 78 F-150 4X4. It wears a 77 grille (the nicest of the lot, I think.)
I've kinda turned it into a bit of a "restomod" and have the urge to build a flip front end for it if I can't locate one in fiberglass. would anybody out there have pictures of a successful flip front on a dentside, regardless of it being a 2wd or 4wd ?
I'm really hopeful that I may be able to get a little guidance with this even though I am ready to just rip into it on my own, praying that I don't destroy my good sheetmetal in the process.
