That would take a LOT of custom fabrication.
Anything is possible, with enough money. As for if it would even look good?

Re: 78 front end on an 83?
really? so they are THAT much different then? i don't think id actually do it. i just like the way the front end of a 78' looks better than an 83. dont they look pretty much the same though? aside from little differences like the back windshield and stuff. i guess it would look pretty much like a 78, instead of an 83 from first glance...like i said though i probably wont ever do it.

but yes, if i do end up doing it i will deffinitly post pics. but i think finding a front end of a 78 will be a bit hard. I still think it would look pretty cool.

Re: 78 front end on an 83?
There is absolutely nothing in common between 2nd Gens and 3rd Gens (except a few small parts). I'm pretty sure it would look silly, 2nd Gens are much morve curvy than the edgy shapes of 3rd Gens.
