Haha, I'm actually just outside New York City. I guess it was just a lucky find. Ill keep measuring the front grill and hood though. it all looked the same based off of basic measurements. The front fenders are where I could find the differences. Based off everyone's great input here i was able to start figuring out what to do and am starting to research some new parts to hopefully replace the ones I mistakenly bought.
see this thread for pictures from the truck I found and bought
