Default few questions on going from 99-03 front end(silverado)

i just sold my 98 Camaro SS two days ago and im really thinking of buying a silverado. im being offered a real good deal on a '99 silverado but i really want one with the '03-05 front end. i just need some info on what parts i would need(besides the obvious ones) to make this conversion? is it worth it?what has to be done to mount the newer style headlights and bumper????

really its just the obvious ones. fenders, hood, grille, bumper, lights. youll also need new hood hinges to make the new hood work. they are about 75 per hinge... ive never done the swap myself, but im 99% sure thats it.
