2013 front end conversion

HobbyStock62 · Apr 5, 2014

i got a new box, and discovered a rust hole under the chrome on my front fender. so, its either a new fender and paint that, or just do a 2013 frond end. kind of my excuse at least haha. im just wondering where people are buying these parts or if i can buy a complete kit from somewhere or do i just search craigslist for stuff every day? also wondering if there is anything odd that has to be done. from what i would think it would be fenders, hood, grill, headlights and bumper...anything else?

I would check out strikers kit.

IIRC you're going to have to heavily modify the wiper cowl on the truck to accept the new parts and a few other cowl pieces. Completely doable, but not simply a bolt on modification. Some Fab work is going to be required.

im fine with that to an extent. i know i have to notch a little bit of the frame for the bumper and make some braces for the fenders, but thats all fine. could i just put a 2011+ wiper cowl on it?

Exactly, that's the hardest part of the whole swap is getting the cowl to fit and look correct. Striker has a whole drop in fiberglass cowl that's is pretty neat.
