2013 hd front 2500 conversion into 1500 finished!!!!!!

[Thor09]

Great job, ive only seen that done 1 time before a few years ago and it looks so good. I know thats alot of work but it turned out really nice

Of course I would find this thread doing like my 5th Google search for this AFTER I posted a thread to see if anyone has done this.

Will you do me a favor and PM me with the info on how you went about doing this? Doesn't need to be CRAZY detailed, but general stuff. Also, I'm looking at getting a bully aftermarket front bumper, would I need to go with the 2500 bumper? Or still get the 1500 bumper?

Thanks in advance, this looks freaking awesome and I've been looking into it since I got my truck last June.

So. ..what did you do with the RT hood???

 

[CLKlasse]

I was thinking of doing the same thing.

It looks kind of cute I think, for a regular cab short bed.

Was it hard doing it????

 

[sgalligan04]

looks really good man goodluck!

Do you happen to have any picture of how far you need to cut into the frame or how to do the whole bracket deal

 

[madrussian]

Damn, this has to be one of the most unique changes I've seen to a RAM... I love the 2500 hood, I'm all sorts of jealous.

 

[BigChief]

I think you need flares and the body kit to really set this off, otherwise I like how you turned RAM style on it's head and came out looking good!

I'm going to do this conversion as well and could really use a complete list of parts needed


Here's mine right now....

Excellent job on the conversion, last few pictures looks really nice. Did you have to do many adjustments for fit and finish?

Looks great!! What did you end up doing with the 1500 performance hood???

THAT IS AWESOME!! You did a great job. I love the flat nose look of the 2500. I want to put a 2500 front bumper on my 2015 1500 Sport. I didn't know I had to swap out so many parts. Too bad Ram makes things like this not so easy. I can't weld and I'm too ***** to cut my frame. I don't even have those kind of tools. I wish I could just drop my truck off at a good body shop or custom truck parts place and let them do it. I don't know any place that would take care of it for me. My RAM dealer might, but I'm scared what they would charge. I know there are after market companies that make custom bumpers. Too bad they don't offer this as a bolt on kit. It does look awesome though. I want that on my truck!!

Looks badass! Great work!

Looks great,
The 2500 hood just bolts up, and the hood latch works? no need to modify how/where the latch mounts on the rad support?

Bump..

I want to know this as well.





Also.. Why would you get rid of the sport hood for the HD one? I know the HD one fits the HD front end but come on.. the scoops trump indents..

I'm guessing but I think the front grill won't match up with the sport hood. The HD grill is larger.
