Hello all, this is my first post on here. I have a 1995 B2300 5-speed, I hit a deers a** doing 95mph and the passenger side is completely gone, fenders destroyed, innder fender is banged up, core support banged up, header panel demolished, headlight dissipated into thin air, etc... I was wondering how difficult it would be to put an 06+ front end on it. I am in school for high performance automotive and we have a fab shop so I can fab any brackets I may need :icon_welder: Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.

It seems the core supports are year specific. I would say that replacing the core support at the same time within the same year as your 'new' front clip should work. I haven't done a truck as new, but I have swapped a '91 front clip onto a '87 when I rolled my truck.
Good luck,

Richard

So basically I would have to replace the entire front clip not just fenders and grill? I heard from someone (a semi trustable source) that the inner fenders and fenders are longer on the newer trucks, do you know if this is true?
