I have a 99 F450 and I was looking to do the 05-07 front end conversion, will the f350 parts bolts right up to my 450?
Thanks

Yes, they will bolt right up. You will need to either trim or buy a new header panel for the lights, adapter harness for the lights, and new brackets for the new bumper. Here's what mine looks like after the conversion:

Whats different about the bumper brackets? where did you go to get the parts for your conversion? By any chance is your truck a Fontaine? I see you have the Firestone air bags and was wondering what your ride quality is like? My airbags make it quite a stiff ride unless towing a 5th wheel...

Your current bumper brackets are different and won't work on the new 2005 bumper. The links below contains the two different brackets you will need. I purchased mine on ebay. All the parts I used were bought on ebay, craigslist, and the dealer. A while back I posted a list of all the parts including part number with prices. I also bought the fog light kit from the dealer.

I bought the firestone air bags thinking I was going to need them for my new 5th wheel. I don't use them at all. I keep them filled at the minimum 5 PSI.

My truck was modified by LA West.

Ok I guess your setup is a little different than mine, I think you have the airbags that assist your leaf springs... am i right? My rear suspension is made up of two big airbags. Thank you very much for the links and all the information you provided!

and also how did you go about wiring the newer side mirrors?

 

[5Rvers]

I have the air compresor up front and can air the bags individually. If you already have power mirrors you can use the same connection. Do a search here on how to wire the mirrors. I got the information from someone who posted step by step on how to do it. I did have a seperate switched installed to turn on and off the heater.

Good Luck!
