Need some advice/help

First of all I'm back after alittle vacation (ok not really just sold my 04 f150 2 years ago, so I wasn't on here anymore). I just bought a 93 f250 Reg cab I6 300 man trans 4x4 76k. Got a good deal on it just wondered when I went to look at it the front end did not look like a 93, the headlights did not look right. After talking to the guy that I bought it from (who I have worked with for 10 years) he said that it was wrecked before he got it and a new cab was put on it.

I guess what I want to know is if I could get the new grill and lights on it? I dont have pictures of it now I will get them up soon.

Thanks in advance

Without pics I can't tell if it has a 80-86 grill or a 87-91 grill on it now but it doesn't really matter.
If it doesn't have a 92-96 grill already you would have to change the whole front clip to make a 92-96 grill fit. That would include hood,fenders,cowl piece between hood and windshield,headlights,marker lights,radiator support and the bumper may be different too??
Unless you find a cheap parts truck you might have to learn to like the front end that's on it now.

Ok the body is a 86. I did buy a set of 93 front calipers, pads and all that good stuff. So I guess I'll just take it alittle at a time. The truck runs great after only being used as a wood hauling truck.

So my next question would be if for some reason if some of the other parts got switched to the 86 are they interchangeable with a 93

Ok I have the calipers on and while bleeding the brakes i blew a crack in a line. I have a new question. Obviously they dont make this line custom they do make the longer runs in a complete kit. Would you get a stainless steel line and custom bend it or get a braided line for the line.

The line is that cracked is the hard line that is right after the brake hose on the drivers side front. The hard line feeds into the proportioning valve. The line is a short run maybe 16 inches long if it was straightened.
