greetings ya'll
i recently picked up a styleside bed for next to nothing for my 77 4x4, which you guys have probably seen.
my plans at the moment are to tear off the flatbed, fit the styleside, remove the general lee decals and do some rust work.
i was also thinking bout putting a 78 front end on it to give it a slightly more agressive look. i know that im gonna need grille inserts and headlights, but does anyone else know what im gonna need to do this?
ill be sure to put pics up as i go for everyone.
thanks,
keep truckin

Personal opinion. Everyone has 78-79 Fords or converts to them. Keep the 77 front end, but thats my opinion
You need the grill shell to mount the lights, inserts, and turn signals
and "FORD" will go on the hood, not the grill

You will need the 78-79 square or circular headlight buckets, headlight bezels, grille, grille insert, turn signals, possibly the turn signal bulb sockets and if you want to be really correct from FORD FORD letters on the hood.

thanks 650 
also worth mentioning, i plan on holding onto the 77 front end for a future project, hopefully on a bronco.
while im online, i might as well ask if anyone has pics of custom front bumpers, seeing as im pulling my truck off the road for a spell it might be worth doing something in that area.
