Has anyone out there heard of the new 2008 Super Duty front clip being installed on a 2005 Excursion? I have made 2000 to 2005 swaps; however, it appears the 2008 pickup frame drops back down towards the ground after it passes the shock. The 2005 frame is pretty much straight after the shock towards thefront bumper.
is that link correct? what do tow bodies have to do with a front clip swap?
I also have a 2000 excursion and would love to swap a 2008 front clip on and a dash would be awesome too ... it would coast a bunch i think and even junk yards are hard to find a nice front clip as most vehicles are damged in the front...i was thinking of adapting the '08 fenders hood cowl and grille etc but keeping the 2000 radiator and misc. and fabricating drop brackets to mount the 2008 bumper lower form the 2000 frame. any ideas ?
Thanks,
Deo
