Front Clip weight differences?
I have always wondered what makes the progressing years of these trucks heavier. I know that the 03-05 silvys look to have more steel and plastic on their front ends than my 99 GMC. Does this extra material amount to the extra 50-100 pounds that the later years have? I know the NNBS are heavier but they have a completely different frame design so I am not talking about them, just the differences from 99-07

See thats what I think, I know my bumper looks to have more steel showing than the 06, but the fenders and hood definetly have more surface area, just don't know if the weight difference is in the front end.
I cant see where else it may be though because cab back, we all have the same frame, and stock provisions such as spare and tow package if added.
