This is probably the wrong place for this post, but real quick does anyone know if the '05 front end will bolt on to an 04? And are the fenders different from 4 to 5?

From the looks of it all seems only thing different is sheet metal design of hood. Probably get best info from dealer body shop.

Someone had a post a while back about switching grills and hoods on a 2003 or 2004 to those of a 2005. Something in the neighborhood of $1600 IIRC.

Past post with info regarding conversion

Somewhere in here a guy did it and it was just a grill and hood swap and a few brackets and yes it was around 1600 bucks. He also has before and after photos.

well the reason I ask is that my truck was recked over the weekend, and I like the 05 grill, and all of that has to be replaced anyways.

sounds like a good time to turn your truck into an 05:cool:
