Can I put a 06-08 front clip on a 03-05?

[Tractorluvindj]

This is somewhat related to this thread.
I am wondering if I can put a 06-08 clip on a wrecked 04 that needs a new front clip.


How much does a used doghouse cost(2fenders, hood, grill, bumper, etc..) for a 04'

Yes you can...the only thing is you may also need the radiator support. Pretty sure headlights are going to require re-wiring and the '06 headlights have an extra bulb in the ugly reflector strip...(ie, get '07+ headlights)

Not sure what it'll all cost but your best bet would be to find an auto salvage around you with one.

May be hard to find a donor. Seeing as most totaled trucks are wrecked in the front. Good luck!
