So I have been gathering parts to change the front clip on my 1984 c10 to a 73-80 style. I have everything I need except good inner and outer fenders which I will order repops from rockauto or lmc. I have a 75 c20 radiator support that I havnt pulled yet due to snow. Now I have read through every thread I can find on google about this swap and half of the people say that the body mounts(radiator support mounts) do have to be moved and the other half say NO. including the guy who did the 4x4 and painted it green and white with the roll and tip method. I really would like to have a more definite answer before I rip apart my truck come warmer weather. now what I cant understand is if 1 guy has an 80's truck and puts a 70's clip on without and modification to the radiator support to fender to cab dimension then how come another guy had to cut and relocate them? I was under the impression all 70s fenders matched 70s fenders regardless of 4x4 or 10 20 or 30 series and same goes for 80s style? if anyone can shed light on this it would be very helpful as I am confused here, thanks in advance
