06 to 09 front end swap.

I know anything Is possible. I have done many searches looking for any info on this topic, but I get nothing.

I have a 4x4 06 screw, and like the new 09+ front end, hood fender lights grill. Anyone know if the fender body lines line up, Do I need a front core support bracket. I can’t believe I am the only one that would want to do this.

that would require LOTS of money, time, money, patience, money, and another vehicle to be suitable transportation while the truck is under the knife.

i imagine it would all line up an bolt similar, you may have to do some slight modification. it wont look right due to the 2009 fender flair style around the front wheels wont watch the style on the 2006 bed.

Right, good point, so there is a difference, I have a rental 09 right now . I need to put them right next to each other. Anyone know if the 5.5 09 bed will fit on a 5.5 06?

I'll x2 the just trading for an 09 part. The headlamp shape is made to blend with the taillamp design so you would be best off doing a front clip and bed swap. I'd just trade up and enjoy the 09s interior, and 6spd auto.

if the 09 fenders fit, just put your stuff on the rental and then go wreck the **** out of the front end so they cant even reconize its your 06 parts, of course this will only work if they are the same colors

Wow, they did. The light pocket looks to be a problem.

Humm I wonder if they are going to do a Screw Raptor?
