Went to the pick n pull and brought home a front clip off an 83 2wd, consisting of the fender aprons and radiator support. All of the aprons I could find were cut off 2-3 inches from the firewall, that wouldn't do for my repair. All I could find was this 1983 2wd truck that had a rotten cab but the front end was in remarkable condition. P-n-P allowed me to cut these off the firewall so I could get the whole apron. There are some differences between the 4wd and 2wd aprons but they look like they will work with some minor modification. The differences are the front body mounts, the cut out for the steering box and the extension pieces over the shock towers. The white aprons are from an 81 4wd and the blue are the 83 2wd.

All the information I could find suggested the 4wd fender will bolt to a 2wd front end, appears to be so.
