It's not just a bolt in swap, seen a couple 4g clip swaps but looks really extensive.

if you have the money it possible, but definitely not a direct bolt on.

It's really that much work? Seems like you could just get the fenders, hood, core support, lights, bumper, ect Unless the newer gen is different ad in wider or narrower What the huge difference?

All the metal work would be in the fenders and the wiper cowl (where the 2 generations met)

The body lines on the 2 trucks are similar, but in no way the same. In addition, I'm sure there would be a lot of bracket fabrication work to make it happen.

If the $$ is there, and you can find a good custom shop, I say do it. It's neat!
