Converting a 1992 Ranger into an 83-88?

[Paysochan]

Hey there. I've got a 92 Ranger project and I've been thinking about doing a front end modification to the pre-facelift first gen look. I realize that the fenders are different because of how the headlights on the facelifted ones wrap around the side, and I need new fenders anyways. Is it as simple as taking out the headlights and grille and replacing it with the older stuff or is it more complicated than that? Thanks a lot.

The hood, fenders, grill and radiator core support are different as well as the frame rail ends. It’s not a bolt on conversion but it has been done.
