    Mine was a lot easier the only thing I had to hunt down was a hood. Headlights grill and the trim underneath the headlights was easy to find.
    It’s a lot more complicated if you want to swap out for a stock updated bumper

    Not sure if this is real or not but I’d love to do this front end swap on my truck.

    That's a photoshop, but there is a place in Mexico that's done a bunch just like that.

    This is one of the pics...

    Yeah, I can't find the thread (there were a couple), but someone (one of our members) was pretty serious about contacting this guy, and the thread never got updated. The other thread had a bunch of different trucks.
