BODY SWAP

So I have a 2002 f250 super duty. Its got some rust on it but what're u gonna do. I coated the from and such in a paint called POR 15 or paint over rust and it stopped the rust from coming back. Now I'd like to do something with the body and was thinking of putting the 2010 front end and bed on it instead. Is this possible to do? Will it be difficult to do if it is? Is everything interchangeable? Are the rims on the 2010 interchangeable with my truck as well?

Bed rear bumper doors no problem. The front end would need a core support change in order to get the new fenders, lights and grille on. The front bumper mounts will have to be modified as well. It can be done bolt is not as simple or cheap as say an 05-07' update.

yes, the offset on the new wheels is wrong for the older trucks. You would need wheel spacers.
