    so here's my thought, everyone likes to put newer clips on older trucks, what about an older clip on a newer truck?

    I'm thinking something from an '86, the only issue i see is that the front fender flare would be different than the rear but i may need to weld in new rear fenders anyway or one day put a flatbed on it

    since i'm contemplating new fenders for my truck anyway since they rusted that would be a good time to do it

    so here's my truck

    and here's what i'm thinking, by the way i love the look of old trucks with new wheels

    I'm pretty sure that they all bolt up the same. You'll just need the entire front clip to make sure that the front end lines up with the fenders

    thats the idea, guys put newer clips on old trucks to make them look new, i wanna do the opposite, except i'm gonna have the looks of an older truck with the updated comforts of the '96
