Can a 99-2002 front end be mated with a newer 04/05 truck. I like the new trucks but prefer the front end/lights of the first breed of the new body style. Thanks in advance.

 

oh yeah it can. what exactly is involved dont know.

 

I think you'd have to replace the hood, quarter panals, grill, lights, air damn etc. But that's my guess...that's why I'm asking to find out.

 

i'd wait till 07.. i hear they are bringing back the look... i cant find the damn spy photos tho. Rumour about the new 07's are, having 99-01 similarites but not the "cat" headlights of the 03-04's with a different styling... still in search of those photos...

 

Oh yeah you would have to replace all that which you have mentioned. The quarter panels are different. I think it would also just bolt on. The bumber is different also. You can leave it on but would have a huge gap from the fender and where the bumper meet.

 

I change from a 2001 Silverado front clip to an 05 Sierra clip.
in order to do the Chevy clip you will need:
Hood
Fenders
Grill Shell
Headlights
Parking Lights
Front Bumper
Bumper brackets
The core support should be the same.

my friend changed his 00 silvy front end to an 04 front end. Also i have another friend that swaped out his 04 front end for a avalanche(sp) front end

 

MAybe I'll wait to see what the new 07 truck look like. Any spy photo's would be great.
