Front clip swap

Hello, I have a 1994 F150 and I want to change the look to the 80-86 style. Is there any major changes with the bolt up patterns or anything I should be aware of before doing the swap?

The whole from clip (hood, fenders, cowl panel, core support and all the grill parts) will need to be changed. Then you will end up with different shaped wheel arch openings than what is on the bed. The 1980-‘86 wheel opening is more squared off.

You could swap the bed out too. Then it'd match.
