Sounds expensive. It might be cheaper to go with a Denali front end, if that's a possibility.

Maybe you could find someone that did an Escalade conversion and buy their stock stuff.

booyaa thank you erik... lets put it this way, i have a cowl hood for a chevy, i have an extra set of fenders for my chevy, clear corners and newer headlights, and a paintable Z71 grille for a chevy, so it shouldnt actually be that much $$. sides i was gonna put a new valance on anyways, and i could always sell my gmc **** once i replace it... might as well have the front end i like. im not to big on the esky front clips, they look great but i couldnt ever see myself doing one. and yes i do have both truck i just aint really in the mood to tear em both apart cause it will take awhile and i wont have a truck lol. but the only thing i am worried about is radiator support, are we sure they are the same? i know you said you did it -switches but wasnt sure if you maybe just forgot to put it? thanks again guys

it's 100% the same i had my gm dealer cross the p/n

if you havent ever had your grille off it can be a pita

you need a large phillps screwdriver (1 size above a #2) then at each corner of the headlights on the bottom inside theres a slot for the screwdriver to go into (you can see it easier if you take the connector sheild off between the rad support and the grille) and there are 2 more, 1 directally below each of those near the bumper

then lastly 2 clips on either side where the turnsignals meet the fenders
