Has anyone done it? I have a 95 club cab dakota, and I have an 88 dakota that id like to put its clip on the 95. Being their both "first gens", how hard could it be? Both trucks are complete and are in decent shape. Thanks

I know the fenders are the same. I think you'll just need to change the radiator support, bumper, grille, headlights, and hood. I plan to eventually do this to the '87 I have also.

chgr 340 is right on--- but you will need to cut the frame extension off a later truck so the radiator support bolts and bumper bolts are properly located---my son and i did this to an 87 used as a rock crawler---then it gives you room for a V8....bob
