72 body style

I have just aquired a 72'. I'm wanting to know if the earlier style front end will 'bolt up' to this 72'. I really like the earlier body style vs. this scout look. Thanks for the help.

 

It will but you'll come up a little short, by 3". You'd also need to make allowance for Peepster hood hinges, not a really big deal. If you don't like the Bullnose ugly you could bolt on a YJ front end chainsawguy :twisted: R).

 

So the yj front end (fenders, grill, hood) fits. I really don't have a problem trimming the front. Was going to look at cutting a radius in the rockers also to get away from the square look both frt/aft. I have a yj that's really a donor vehicle, just wanted the frame for another project. Any market for the bullnose stuff? It's in great shape. I have a sandblasting, painting, fabrication, and powder coating business. The parts are blasted & primed. thanks for the help.

 

Actually there'd be no trimming to put a Peepster front end on, you'd need to add 3". Seen a few YJ conversions, not my cup of tea cause I really don't like the YJ grille but it is a Jeep so it's tolerable . Sure there must me somebody looking for BN front end parts so yes, they would be worth something.
