been toying with the idea for a front end conversion from a 96 front end to an 02 Edge front end

i've got a list of what i'll need but what has me stuck are the fenders....
would i have to change them to make the conversion possible?


i know i'll need:

bumper and brackets
valence
header panel
headlights
hood?

or has anyone done this to a 3rd gen truck that would like to share some pointers?

i've got the mod bug so if the fenders don't match, i'll find something else...

 

Yes, fenders as well.

 

yeah i thought so....

this idea is going on the back burner for a while i guess

unless anyone knows an oxford white edge with rear end damage....lol

 

you dont have to change fenders. its been done many times

 

yes you need fenders he is swapping a 96, 98+ does not need fenders. you will also need a new core support.

 

Yeah you'll need a radaitor support as well.

 

yea i just noticed he has a 96. yes fenders indeed.

 

yeah i looked it up today at work....the fenders have different part #s

looks like i'm off to do a different project for now

 

Can't be that hard with all the fleet Rangers out there.

 

true...i just need to find one for cheap

 

Just sneak into a parts store and "borrow" all the '06 front end and tail lights. Just make sure to leave a thank you note.

 

i work at O'reillys.....

i have an uncontrollable twitch when i walk by the newer service trucks
