O5DodgeRam5.9

So I got the front end swap done today. Picked up the fenders straight from dodge brand new and had them panel painted. They still need to be wet sand and buffed but they look awesome. I paid 180 per fender and 100 each to paint them. I also bought the headlight coversion harness off ebay 9007 to H13 for 20 bucks. I did have to buy a new grille bracket because I couldnt find a used one in time. Other then a little cleaning shes all done. Ill take more pics tomorrow since its dark out right now. Total cost was about 1000 since I bought new fenders.

Fenders From Dodge: 620.00 Total Painted
Grille Bracket New From Dodge: 72.34
Headlights: 100 for both shipped
Headlight Harness: 20 Shipped
Chrome Grille: 130 local
Front Bumper and Valance 170 local

Looks nice. Personally, I prefer the look of the '05 front end.

My only question is WHY?

FLYH2O

Looks good! Less money than I thought it would cost as well.

New pics! and to answere the "why" question. My tastes like the 06-08 body much better. Not to mention its a "newer" style.

Good job. You woulda paid 3x that for a newer truck in same condition.

Excellent! Now you have me thinking if its possible to swap to the new 2010 front on my project truck.

Im not thinking it possible. Me and my buddy which was forced into getting a 2010 ( 05 was stolen and totaled) have been looking at the 2 side buy side and we think with the new cab the hood and cowl wouldn't line up and the fenders to the doors are enough different that the lines wouldn't match. But if a guy was into some panel modification to make it fit it could happen oh and if moneys no object.

Thanks everyone.. Appreciate the compliments! As far as swapping to an 09-10 I doubt that would be possible but who knows... I think you should really research it before you start something like that..
