What up you guys its been a while, well I am getting on here to check up on how much a 99-02 frontend setup (grille, bumper, mounting brackets etc.) costs?? Has anyone swapped their 97-98 bumper/frontend out for a later model frontend? Anyhoo any help or info you could put in would help alot.THX Droop

 

try www.fordpartsonline.com

 

TRY E-BAY I JUST BOUGHT ANEW GRILL AND SURROUND FOR $68. THAT INCLUDED SHIPPING.

 

Hmmm didn't find really what I needed there, I want to know how much the entire front end, the grille, the bumper mounts, and the bumper will cost, I know that there are alot of people with 97-98 year truck, that have swapped out their frontends, to update their trucks, and thats what I want to do, but I need to know what kinda grip its gonna take out of my wallet. Any help would be greatly appreciated. THX Droop

 

Dude, go with the Navigator front end! It looks killer, IMHO, you have to change the entire front clip, I think you can get everything you need for around 2K. Just an idea, man!

 

I like the 20 in Lightning replicas, where did you get them from im lookin for some new wheels

 

yeah, i'm interested too, i just want the front grill housing and a bumper, do you need new brackets ? are there any holes you have to drill? anybody have any experiance doing this ? basically will it bolt right up?

 

I am looking for the same thing as Ken, I just need to know how much and if I need new mounts for the bumper assembly, and a new grille, eventually I want to get a nice Stull grille, but for now I just want to update my frontend. THX Droop

 

droopy88,
If you must change that beautiful truck go here for the lightning front clip

Personally I love the 97-98 front ends. Just wish I could find a nice air dam to go with mine.

 

I have a 98 and did this to mine. I replaced my front end with a 2001 lightning front end. The reason I went with the 01 front end is I liked the fog lights bettter and they won't fit the older L bumper covers. That's the only dif. in the bumper covers.

To answer some of your questions. Yes you need to replace your bumper brackets, and there is a steel bumper that is under the L bumper cover. There is also a bracket for each fog light and to strengthen the bumper cover. And a bunch of small things also. You will also need a new grill and a grill to fit in the bumper cover. I put factory but I am going to replace it with aftermarket grills.
As for prices it depends on where you get them at. I bought all of mine at ford but my pricing is different because I live in Canada and I got them wholesale.
Here is a web address you can see the parts breakdown and Part #'s. This is the printout from ford.
Hope this helps

P.S. nice truck!

 

At this web site you can get all the brackets, the lights, bumper cover and billet grills for the top and bottle including all brackets needed to install for one price. All you need to add is the steel sub bumper.
