Interesting Truck spotted

So I'm driving home from lunch.......and I saw a 05-06 Powerstroke, with 08 Headlights. It looked AWESOME! I haven't been a fan of the newer 08 frontend, but a 05 grill conversion......with 08 lights is a great looking truck for whoever might be interested! I didn't get pics unfortunately.......had my daughter with me, and wasn't about to try snapping a cell phone pic lol

I dont see how that could be done, the front fenders are differant, which lines up to the hood and grill assmb... If it was done it would be a completly one off set up as nothing will bolt up like that.

I'm guessing it was the chrome versions - the black ones make me think of a bassett hound's eyes, or some old hag on a bender

I dont think this is possible, nothing up front on an 08 is even remotly the same, I think you saw an 08.

Well......if it WAS an 08, then he did a 05 conversion for the grill! Which means it's possible for our trucks too

I had a customer that we wired a huge custom house for and he used to say "There is nothing that time and money can't solve" Well he had plenty of money and we had plenty of time for him!!
