what parts are needed to convert my 99 s10 to this front end from the lil shops truck? headlights bumper and grille? are my fenders and hood the same?

Are those just stock sonoma grille lights and bumper?

Re: Front End Conversion's

headlights are good, it will come back with a few new parts, i will replace the bumper with one from an Isuzu Hombre and a Cervinis SS hood will go on...... now I can justify buying them......

and Travy, I would love it if you beat the F*ck out of that tree for me.....lol
and yes the truck looks sad....lol

Re: Front End Conversion's
