Hey guys im thinking of trying to take the front clip and doors off a 75 F600 and put them on my 74 f100. Curious what you guys think of the idea and what kind of obsticals do i have to come over?..

 

I'm not sure but I think it will be wider in the fender area. Isn't a 600 a big truck ? Oh. and wellcome to F.T.E.

 

can you do it... sure...but why? Unless you have a monster lift on the truck IMO it will not look right. Doors will be no problem but the nose IDK.

 

There's a user on here I can't remember his name at the moment but he has a bronco with the big truck front on it like that. So it can be done.

 

Isn't it a Grey Bronco Centurion (4 door) as well?

Heck, I would just use the front fenders, grill, and core support,e tc and then install some dually rear fenders for really W....I....D....E tires and wheels. Rockwells anyone???

Say, them west coast style mirrors go for at least $100 a pair here in California. Someone <HINT HINT HINT> should reproduce the brackets.

 

Yea Josh that's the one I'm talking about. Here it is

it user 78_f800crewcab4x4's truck

 

Yep, that's it! And that shows what needs to be done to make the grille and fenders "mesh" well with an overall theme.

Yes that truck looks good, but unless you get that kind of lift and some big meats or set the truck up as a dually with some 24.5 rims/tires and custom dually fenders,I dont think it would look right. The Front fender opening vs the rear fender opening on a regular p/u bed is just way toooo different in size for my taste. As for the dually concept their isnt too many options anymore for aftermarket dually p/u fenders.

 

IIRC...he wrecked that truck...hit something at 35mph, guard rail, concrete barrier, maybe a pole. I don't remember, but I'm pretty sure he wrecked.


I remember there used to be another member here that did exactly what the OP is wanting to do (but on a 150). I don't remember his name, or how he went about merging the two, but it did look pretty rowdy. IIRC, he was running 40" Hawgs on that truck.

 

I would have to agree about the whole front fender Vs. Rear fender deal.

In the picture, I think that the truck looks amazing, but a little funny at the rear end. It's all beastly to begin with (love that), but ends just like ever other persons vehicle which makes it turn from tiger to kitten IMO.

I think it'd be a good idea to take the entire front off the F600 and use it similarly to how this other vehicle was done up, but I would try to make the rear fenders fabbed up to look like the front. Maybe get your hands on two sets of fenders and fab away?

But otherwise, I totally agree that it looks good, but you need a major lift and some massive a$$ mudders on there.
