52 coe
hello all. i have a 52 coe. I like the looks of the 48-50 grill better. is it possible to change the lower fenders and grill? If so what trucks would it have to come off of? thanks for the help

Welcome to the board!! I can already tell that you are a smart man with great taste. I think we all know that the 48-50 grill outclasses the 51/52 grill, hands down.
LOL...just kidding, since you're new here I'll let you in on the joke. We have a long standing, good natured, arguement around here about which grill is better looking. Some of the replies are quite creative and pretty danged humorous.
Back to the question, I think the grills themselves are all the same. Since you have a COE I'm not sure about the lower fender panels, valance, etc. One of the big truck guys should be along shortly with the answer.

The front clip from a 51/52 COE is indeed what would be needed. That would be the fenders, the inner fenders, the grille assembly, and the hood. Just so you know .... the COE grille is not the same as the conventional cab 48 to 50 models though. It does appear to the be the same forthe 51/52 models from F1 through F6 however. The 48-50 grilles for the COE is the same as the F7 and F8 trucks .... something around 3 inches wider overall.
I'm familiar with all that since I have a COE from 48, and one from 51, and no nothing is for sale. (grin)

Pictures please. Please drop everything in your hands and back away from the truck. I will come and get it soon. No one should ever make a 51 or 52 into a 48-50.
Lol.....no serious back away from the truck!!!
