well my truck was hit and my front end is pretty banged up so while i replace the entire front end i want to do the 06 chevy front end with the hd hood. i know i have to do both fenders, hood, bumper, valence, head lights and the turn signal lights, grille and emblem. My question is the more i keep looking this up it keeps coming up the where the bumper brackets bolt up its different and must be welded. Anyone here do the swap on a truck similiar as mine can verifiy this does everything bolt right up? And yes i used the **** outa the search button i just want to verify everything bolts right up to make the install go smooth.
Thanks, Abel

 

anyone?

 

I've done a 2000 to 2005 conversion a while ago I can search for it in a bit...

i actually found that thread when i was searching and that's how i discovered the mounts are different. Did you have to make your own mounts or how did you go about using the bumper?

 

I can't find any of the build pictures on my computer, but "I THINK" I just drilled a hole through the frame for the newer style mounting bracket. I remember it wasn't too difficult to make it work. The hardest part was the drivers side fender, lots of wires...

 

you will have to cut the tips of your frame if you have a 99-02 not on a 03+ ive done it before but i have no pics to post
