    Go the "mutant" front. Arguably the ugliest HQ-WB front.

    Looks like a good van though.

    Lol the early WB "workhorse" front, a rare find nowadays. Not that it looks much chop anyhow!

    Actually wondering if any of the other WB grilles and lights fit straight in to these nose cones?
    Anyone know?

    I believe the nose cones are the same but the radiator support is different around the headlight mounts..... :Chin:

    I am sure Oz will correct me if I'm wrong.....

    Just so you all know this van was on the side of the road again this weekend.
    Not sure if the price had dropped but still for sale.

    Nosecone, grille, lights and bar are different. Plus you have to drill the spotwelds out that weld the round headlight frame to the square headlight support. And the square headlight front has a black plastic strip that runs under the lighst and grille that supports the grille. The bars are actually the same except the square light front bar is chromed with a plastic number plate supprt. You can use the nosecone if you have a damaged square one, and weld on the bits that sit either side of the grille.

    easiest way to get rid of that front is to put an hjxz front on or wb statesman nose clip..
    what byron said and absinth but a lot of cost and work to do..
