Van clip

I have a 87 F-350 Cube van.
Does anyone know if the whole front clip comes off like they do on a pickup?
The 350 is the same as the 150.
I bought a parts van as mine has some rust issues.
Id like to just change the whole frontend?
Thanks

I've taken the fenders off and they are just bolt on. (84 model) I can't remember how many bolts hold them on. Under the fenders I think everything is all welded together on the whole cab. I also think there are some slight differences on a cutaway as to a van at where they bolt up to the cube box.

An '87 should be built Body on Frame. In the factory a rolling chassis/frame has the body dropped in place on it & bolted down. How the "Cube van" folks or others might have modified it over the 20+ years since
