Why? The 08 lights are much better and it is easier to build a grill guard around the 08 than the 05.. He can now sell the 05 parts to pay for the 08 parts..

It is on my to do list with a Sterling grill of coarse..

looks good either way.

did you have to swap hoods too? or are they the same with both style front ends?

txarrowhunter

hoods are the same

Thanks for the replies and sorry for the slight hijack.
At least now if I want to make some changes, I have some options from 03-08.

Now, I wonder how I can convert a reg cab 4500 to a mega cab?

I had to put them next to each other to fully appreciate the difference. I don't think I could justify the cost just to change the look of the grill. I think instead I'd buy a full replacement bumper and cover it all up

You did a nice job on the swap. Truck looks real good either way. You can tell it's taken care of.

Thanks everyone! Yea I just like the updated look. I like both but this really grew on me.. Im happy with the swap.. Not looking forward to doing the ball joints friday though..

Nice write up! looks great. Ya know, as shown in your first set of pics, the parts make great livingroom decor for the die hard Dodge truck fanatic!

sdmark

are you selling your 05 fenders? I might know someone that is interested...

O5DodgeRam5.9

Yes they are for sale. Let me know, id love to get them out of the living room.


Ill tell ya what, ill do 450 for the whole front clip. Thats a freakin steal. If he only wants the fenders then thats cool too. Figure if the price is right he'd take the whole thing. Fenders/bumper/valance/grill/support bracket.. No headlights as they are sold already.

Deku .-.

hi sorry to bother but I’m thinking on doing the same thing on my 05
is everything bolt in or mods needs to be done in order to fit ? All means fenders, hood, bumper, lights etx
