06 front end conversion to 2012

I got hit in the front end yesterday and i need a new bumper hood and grill how hard is it to convert to the newer year model front end?

 

I think somebody did that and its pretty much bolt on. heck somebody facelifted 2gen to look like 3rd gen.

 

Anything is possible with $$$

 

So far i have the whole front bumper assembly and a grill i dont think need much more beside the hood.

 

I'm driving right now give me 30 min an ill link the thread!

 

Thanks man!

Here's ones too.

 

I sent you a parts list.

 

Going to attempt to put the bumper on today!

 

Let your truck be a loud and proud early 2nd gen!
Just busting balls, brother! Sorry about your accident and good luck with the fix!

 

Thank you!

 

Now THAT is unbelievable that anyone would want to do that...

 

Yeah 3rd gen front end looks weird.

 

Thats the guy

prolly too late but id do it all at once and not piecemeal, your old hood will not close down with the new parts.

... I don't even know what im looking at there... seems like they chopped up a third gen and put the body panels on a second gen regular cab frame? no way that's a straight bolt on job, but its pretty creative. need to black out that grill tho.

 

I ahvnt done it gotta wait for the insurance company to look at it. And i gotta see if it will mount up idk if i need more stuff

 

Hood ordered today!

 

Progress update?
