Find an '08 to compare to, get some measurement's of the front of both trucks, go from there. Will it look weird? Depends on your style. It's probably gonna be a lot of work though.

Are you talking about the front sheetmetal? Or the front driveline? (converting to 4x4)

If you are talking sheet metal that, IMO, would be way more work than it's worth.

I've seen the bumper done, but a whole front end conversion would be nearly impossible. I'm sure it could be done, but it would never look right. Body lines don't match up, and you'd be fabricating more parts to make it work than what the actual conversion consisted of. If its just the bumper, just minor trimming can make it fit.
