Has anyone made this swap.... I like the single windshield in the 54 and the grille in the 53. I was curious what parts I need to change out to achieve this and what is gonna be interchangeable.

The fenders, grill, and I believe even some of the filler panels are different. Probably the hood too.

My 54 came with the older front and I was thinking of switching it back. Bought used fenders and grill, but it looks like everything in front is different like has been said. Mine is still apart so I haven't tried to see if I can piece it together, but looking at the parts companies catalogs I think I'm screwed.

I've heard several different things so I still don't know. Someone says whole and others say fenders and I inner fenders and I've also heard just the fenders.

I'm not seeing where you can see where the parts match on it.
