07+ Front End Conversion on 03-06 Expedition ??

[SOLISIMO]

by the way people this thread is old, look at the original post date

damn never noticed, blame ssnbdr75 for that

 

[Expedition]

Hey at least he searched, right?

 

[ssnbdr75]

yup i searched it cause i have a 04 that i want to do it on and no one has done it (that i have found) from what i can tell everything is bolt on. i am getting the parts in the next few weeks here.

sounds **** bro, post up pics when you start the conversion. Uhh I would start off by getting everything but the hood and fenders and see how it works out. Then move on from there...

Just an update I found the 07+ hood at certifit for $300 brand new.

Damn i remember having this conversation about a year ago tryn to do a limited/harley f150 front end swap ! And i agree the navi front end with a wire mesh grill would look sweet! I know something with the headlight support and relocating the radiator for this conversion to work thats kind of what turned me off. But if this does work i will probably attempt it. It has been done f150 to expedition but not the other way around. Good luck on your journey and keep us posted and i cant wait to see the results

Gents...spoke with a dude yesterday at LKQ chain of salvage yards about this swap. He agreed that as long as the radiator core supports matched between the 03-06 and the 07+, the rest of the parts should bolt up just fine. Now...I'm guessing there may be a few holes or whatever that don't match perfectly, but that's nothing a drill can't fix.

Unfortunately I'm deployed out of state so I won't be able to do any real measuring until I get back home in late Oct. Really hoping one of you cats does this before then so you can sure the write up and pics.

well after researching the radiator support, the 07+ does not cross reference to earlier models but perhaps you can drill to fit

 

[WHOISMOOTOO]

I never did much research after that i just kind of left it there, i can put a bolt in a hole but when it comes to lining up body parts and drilling holes ill leave it to the pros

i know this is an old thread but ive been curious to try to find out and ive looked up the part numbers on the fenders for the 05 and the numbers are 16005a and 16005b for left and right. the 07s fender numbers are 16005 without an a or b.

the website below is the one i got my information from.
