ya the fenders are the same. just need to get the hood, grill, bumper and core support and you're all set for a complete 50/50 weld/bolt on front conversion cause u gotta spot weld the new core support back in, well you could bolt it in if you wanted. u mainly want their core support so the headlights require no fitting

See that'll teach ya... you'll never put your hand in a wombats mouth again!

As long as you can carry a six pack we'll all be fine.

Make sure the plates are big enough... You need to be able to get them about 8 inches to lay out with a four link in em...

like the custom roll pan, I did the same thing leaving the edges sunken in like that as you can see in the pic I posted, lots of guys round em out but I like a little detail.
I, m gonna weld up the gate too, I shaved the handle already, Ilike the smoothed in look too, its a "fat" look. This is just a pic I found of somebody elses work.

so yes, needs a bit more smoothing and maybe a bit more welding, a thin thin layer of filler and some primer and we get to work on the sides.
big thanks to russ and his welding, none of this truck could of happened without you mate.
