Re: 01+ fron end on a 97?
i believe ive seen this done, i think you will prolly also need the fenders, hood and bumper, not just the grille, headlights and turn signals

Re: 01+ fron end on a 97?
Well 01 and 04 are pretty much the same, it just depends on the trim of the truck you're acquiring parts from. I say go for broke and go 06+.

Re: 01+ fron end on a 97?
Unless he has an 01+ header panel, that's impossible. And the corner lights won't line up with the fenders either.

Re: 01+ fron end on a 97?
you need core support, fenders, header panel, lights, grill, hood, hood latch, etc.

Re: 01+ fron end on a 97?
yeah, it's pretty much all or nothing. once you have the 98+ core support and fenders, then you can go all the way to 2010 front ends without doing any other major work.

Re: 01+ fron end on a 97?
no you dont need a new hood, hood latch, fenders or any of that for an 01-03. if you go 04+ you will
its basically headlights, header panel, grill, the grill surround, and if you want, the bumper
