Front Clip Swap, please HELP

[kyleterrian13]

i have an 89 b2 and i want to put a 99 or newer ranger clip on it,
i just want to know if they will match up or is fabrication needed
Please help bc im getting it painted SOON and i want to do it before its painted
thank you!

Wow. Well anything will fit with enough fab work but the biggest issue would be the body lines not lining up. Add the fact you'll have a rounded nose on a square body. Try and see or ask nicely in the photo shop forum to make one for ya.

Wow indeed, the 99 will be wider than your 89, not to mention the lines not matching up... but you could do it.

"Soon" will not be in the picture if you are going to use OEM parts, nothing will be close to lining up.

OOOOO! A tilt nose would look good. Though with the wider front fenders how would ya get wider quarters or would it look OK?

Copycat put the wide front fenders on the front of his BII, I forget how he flared the rear but he did get it to match.

A Ranger is a lot easier, you just change the bedsides.

Copykat built his wide fenders for his b-II from scratch, same as his back fenders. He's a person that I can't see buying new without him trying to build it first.
