I want to get a 98 Ranger. But really like the look of the 08. So is it possible to swap front ends and what kind of price am I looking at?

 

yes new hood headerpanel and grille and bumper

 

someone on here has an 01 with 09 stuff on it.

04-11 Header Panel
01-11 Headlights
06-11 Corner Lights
04-11 Hood
06-11 Grille

You can get it all at Certifit for cheap but it will be Taiwanese crap.

Or you can find a wrecked on for cheap and take the shabang.

 

yea the problem is with the wrecked one is most cars/trucks that are totalled are front end hits...

 

yes you can. i know you are new so dont take this the wrong way. do a little searching on the subject there are tons of threads out there about this. there is one that has the list of everything you need.


there are a bunch of people that has done this swap

 

i believe you will need the hood hinges as well.

 

There needs to be a sticky with this info.

 

I think thats only when you swap a pre-98 to a 98+ because you have to do fenders also. He does not have to so.......i think he is good.

 

it's not going from 97 to 98 that is the problem. i have a 98 hood on my 93 and it bolted right on.


it's when you go 04 and newer. taken from wvcat on one of the other forums:

 

this is my truck its a 95 with 08 front end

Hmm, just the driver side hinge. Thats interesting. Funny tidbit of info.


@Paul Spickard- are you just running your 90s bumper on there cause something doesn't look right.
