I'm looking into getting a Dolphin (or similar) and find myself drawn to the look of the early model Hilux (pre-1980) but don't necessarily want the problems that are likely to come with a 40 year old vehicle. I'm wondering if it would be possible to replace one of the later model front ends with the grille/headlamps from the first generation. Anyone have experience with this?

I've got a '91 Toyota Winnebago and my girlfriend backed into it's grille...ouch. It cracked and I contained my temper, more or less, and said "Were you looking in your rear view mirror when you backed out of the garage?" Her blood sugar was low, conjecture on my part, so I let it ride, so to speak. Anyway, it needs to be replaced. I think the "emblem" that says' "TOYOTA" survived, although, I'll have to remove it first to see, up close and personal, it's condition. Started to remove the grille, and, I must say, it's been a chore thus far, but got the top "mount clamps" pulled out but a few on the bottom have not been cooperative. I'm wondering if anyone happens to know where I might find a grille for this truck, ON LINE? It's the painted grey one with "V6" on it and the "TOYOTA" emblem (removable) right in the center. Can this procedure, remove old and replace with new, be done by someone, like myself, who is "reasonably coherent"? Or does it take a degree and/or special tools, to slip the lower mount clamps out?
