Front Clip Interchange

Well im a fan of old trucks, i was wondering will the front clip off a older 70's dodge fit on a 90's, will this be a bolt on replacement? meaning no fabrication. Also i'm sure someones done it and i'd olve to see some of your guys retro front clip pics. Thanks. Please post pics i'm sure it will give us all ideas.

It will bolt on, but the body lines are different. You'd need the doors and the bed to make it look right.

The hood will interchange as long as you swap the cowl also. I've seen guys with 80's trucks that have a 70's grille on them. The body lines don't match exactly, but its not that far off either. The 91-93 truck have the headlights in a slightly different position than the 90 and older, so you would have to move your headlight buckets or swap the core support.
