I have a 1951 6400 and a 54 or early 55 dump with the big grill and I would like to put the front clip from the 54 on my 51. The trucks looks to have the same geomitry. Is there anyone who knows for sure there will not be any big headaches(or visa versa)? The 51 only has 72,000 miles but the grill ate a tree.

Should drop right on. I've seen early cabs with later front clips, and later cabs with earlier clips.

The front clips should swap, with little problem. Most people, in my area, swapped the '54/'55 front clips, for the early '47-'53 clips. Used to be alot of '54/'55 front clips sitting around scrapped.
