I'm interested in doing this front swapon my 87....can anyone give me some advice on what needs to be done? Is it kinda like doing it on a 89-95 model without changing the core support? I know that its not gonna be a simple bolt on, just thought some of you could give me a heads up on whats involved.

Ok your going to have to cut where the headlights go...its a must cause the
lights are bigger. Youll also have to drill some new mounting holes for the headlights as well too. As for the bumper there is a site that makes the bumper brackets for your truck to do that conversion. Here is the site...
