Default 2008 GRILL AND BUMPERS ON 2005

Can anyone advise if the mounting dimensions changed on the Ford 2008-2011 Super Duty trucks vs. the 2003-2007? I have a 2005 F350 and want to put a chrome grill and bumpers vs. the painted one's but then there is the filler piece between the grill and front bumper that is not chrome in 2008 it went to just a chrome grill and bumper. Was wondering if the 2008 would fit on the 2005 front end. Also wondered if the tail gate is the same dimension on 2003-2007 vs. 2008-2011

tailgate is the same but if you want the grill i think you will need to replace both fenders and hood at least that is how i have seen it done.

Yep, gonna set you back about $2500 before paint, just for the front end stuff.

Tailgate will swap.

I have 07 front end on 03 truck. The radiator support has a larger opening and different headlight mounts so I replaced that. I have " Harley" headlights, black inside, and a larger grille. I used an aftermarket bumper cover on 07 bumper too. The frame connections are the same, and the hood and fenders are the same. . The newer headlights require adapters too! Looks awesome, still primed but paint and finishing touches soon! Easy upgrade if u can't afford the new stuff!
