you need to swap out the front end on that body you can do it not sure with newer than 03 front end, my friend has on 97 with an 02 front end its possible, believe you would have to change the side panels and the hood i believe you could keep the bumper unless you dont like the style.

youll need a hood, fenders, header panel, grille, and the lights, and as to the bumper, if you want a newer one, youll have to cut your frame horns off and weld on the newer ones. ford changed the way bumpers mount in 98.
