Question A incomplete 2004 + front end conversion or just another weird Craigslist ad?

Why would someone do this?

he wanted the ever elusive power dome hood and probably didnt realize there would be a gap

or someone jumped on the hood and that was the only one he could find

Actually could he just throw on an 04+ grille or is the header panel too different? I always did like the big turn signals

the entire header panel, headlights, fenders, grille, bumper from 04+. headlights are the same from 01+. easier to find a 01-03 powerdome hood

i saw someone on here swapped an 04+ grille into a '98-'00, from what i understand from 04+ the grille is seperate from the filler peices under the headlights, so it probibly wouldin't be hard to swap one in. as is it's a fairly clean truck, i don't know why the seller dosin't pick up an 04+ grille so it looks halfway finished.

That actually might not be terrible. It would remind me of a tundra

X2, They must have had plans to do the full conversion because the 04 + hoods are harder to find and more expensive.
