f-250 · 02-11-2006, 06:53 AM

Hi all of You.
I'm new to Your forum.
I have bought me a 1990 Ford F250 4x4, and have a question;
Is there a way/chance to mounth a newer front (super duty) on my old truck?

Hope for answeres.

PS!
Live in Norway, so my english is as rusty as a old Chevy.

You would have to take measurements, but I really don't think it would be worth it. You would have to replace the hood and fenders and probably do A LOT of retro fitting. Unless you a bodyshop person I don't think it would be worth the time and money.

How new are you wanting to go. I dont think you can go newer than the 1996 body style.

some fabracating involved but it is possible someone put a front clip from a 2003 f 250 onto his s10 and it didnt require a whole lot of fabbing

Are you sure, They have completely diffent size, shape, length, height and general configuration. I dont think it would be possible to put a f250 front end on a s10 unless you were chip foose. And even then ALOT of fabrication would be required

That would be as ugly as sin. The front end would be 6 inches wider than the rest of the truck on both sides. I'd have to see pictures to believe that!

I agree. Maybe you could put a F250 front end on a Chevy Silverado (but why is beyond me) but not an S-10. Too much fabrication.

Thanks to all of You.
I have seen some pictures now from a carbuilder in Sweden.
Yes. It was really ugly.

I had a 1989 Bronco before this f250, and I saw a link to a carstyling company who sold complet front (super duty) for this car.
It was more or less a "clip on" front.

Well. From one thing to another, what a truck this old f-250 is.
It's a car You easly fall "in love in".

I work as a timberjack?? (in the woods with a chanesaw) if You know what I mean.
It houl allmost anything I load it with or pulling after me.

I also have a Mayer snowplow system, but haven't mount it to my truck yet.
Do some of You guys tried it on a simular truck?
Is it effective on my truck, or will the snowplow system tear badly on my truck?

I cant see how a the front end could fit, Can you find the link you are talking about. I am very curious. Glad to hear you like the new truck.

yea, sounds like that front end on an s-10 would be uglier than home-made soap, and thats ugly
