So, I've been slowly working on a cab swap. My 90 cab was too rusted to be safe, and all I could get for what I was willing to pay, was a 88 cab. First off, PIA. I need to post about fitting the dash and steering column, and will later in the interior forum.
Anyway, as everyone knows, the 89 and up have the flushmoutn lights. So the rad supports are different. I ought to just swap the rad supports and be done, but not willing to spend the money. LMC Truck has new supports for $100, plus $100 truck shipping. I almost bought a used section from a JY, for $125. I started to cut the relevant pieces out of both supports and graft everything over, but thats not working so well. Or, I'm not patient enough!
So, I was wondering if anyone had pics of pre-runner style Rangers and how they mount headlights and grills? I'll figure this out sometime, but really need to get this done soon, one way or the other.
Sure, I could have kept the older style headlights. But I didn't get the grill or fenders with the cab. And I already have fiberglass fenders for the 89-92 body style on the truck.
Thanks.
