Default Tahoe Front End Swap
I was walking around the delalership yesterday and noticed that the front end on the Tahoe is different than the Silverado.

Will a Tahoe front end fit on the Silverado? Has anyone done it?

I've seen SUVs with the truck front ends, so I would assume that the reverse would also bolt up just fine.

To do the Escalade swap, you need to change the front doors as well.

I noticed the LTZ grill looks like a direct fit and that looks similar.

Umm may I ask why? All the gmt 900 trucks have the same doors. I have torn apart all three and the all look the same. Different panels n stuff but structurally the same.

I think he's right. I believe on the Caddy, the front edge of the front doors is "more curved" than on the trucks.

not worth it. will take a ton of work to look right. as you can see, neither of the 2 previous posters bothered to match the rear and front fenders.
