Yet another front clip question

[spinem]

I currently own a 74 chevy as most know.

so i have the 73-80 "least areo dynamic style front end."
I wish to up-grade to the 81-87 style. YET KEEP MY GRILL CONFIG. AS IT IS NOW.
**By looking and reading lmc's part#'s-what year....

so. by the looks of lmc's pictures, it appears i would need:
2 81-87 fenders
1 81-87 hood


will i need??:
2 81-87 inner renders????

or can i even keep my 73-80 grill and all that the same??

thanks!!! (i searched, no results)

you have to change it as the entire front clip (hood, grill, core support, hood release set up, fenders) as far as anything I have ever been around. I know I dont know much so there may be a loop hole I have missed. Just dont count on it.

thats not the right head light bezels, turn signal, nor right grille for either year; head lights or fenders....
thats why it looks odd.

You do know that this is a backwards style step in most people's opinion, as the market is s**t hot for '73-80 box bodies right now, right? And the change to the 81-up clip would only be a negligible aero advantage


.............. but ----- its your truck -- i like both front end styles myself ---- but i personally wouldnt experiment with interracial inter-mingling of clips and bodies (except the '89-92 burb/blazer clip on mid to late 80's trucks -- or putting a 67-68 clip on a 69-72, but thats a different story)

well i guess its a good thing i dont care about most people opinion then huh?

read it again, im not looking for the 81+ FRONT CLIP.
im looking for the FENDERS only the fenders.
aaand the hood. because id have too. the only diff /w/ the hood is it is slightly less tall in the front. other than that, its identical to the eye, not the tape measure..
