the brackets on the frame are slightly different i think i had a thread about the bumper swap awhile back but decided not to do it. im not sure if they have to be swapped also or not but it can be done for the 99+ bumpers. for the expy i have no idea but it would involve hood and fenders and alot of work but its i know some expy swaps have been done

there's a recent thread on here with an expy conversion and it looks sooo sick and different i love it

but a lightning front is so amazing too one of if not the best sport truck front end around..so now i'm torn and don't know what to do lol... i def know the lightning would be cheaper
