I want to do front end conversion to 08 style
Hi, I just bought my first diesel truck and I'm loving it. I will never go back to gasoline again. Anyway, I have an 03 F350 and I would love to do the front end conversion to the new style (08 and up). I am very serious about this and just need to figure out if I can afford it and where I can get it done; or if I can do it myself. I am not very experienced but I'm a fast learner and can follow directions very well. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I love this forum and can't wait to become more involved.

for the 08+ style you need to replace pretty much everything.. fenders, hood, bumper, header panel, headlights, etc.. its a lot of work and very expensive as far as i know

I know it will be a lot of work. The expensive part is where it gets tricky. One guy said he had it all done for $1900; another guy said he had it all done for $700 but he has a body shop. If I can get it all done for under $2K I'll be happy. Do you think that's realistic?

i would imagine that you are looking at well over a grand but it would be nice if it was cheaper than that

I definitely have to keep the price in mind because my pockets are not as deep as other's. On the other hand, I really want to do it and have every intention to get it done. I'm not doing it for resale value or anything, I plan on keeping this truck around for a long time. Giving it a new facelift will keep the excitement and interest up. I love my truck.
