Exclamation Frontend face lift ?

What I need to know is what it will take to convert a 2001 GMC to a 2003 Front end because I want to run the ss front bumper that they have out. Also I am lookin for a set of tahoe 20's is anyone has any

Its only 03 up gmcs...Grill and bumper have to be swapped. I know the newer grill works with the older bumper, so I would assume the brackets are the same

To change the bumper you need different frame horns. You can cut the old ones off and either weld new ones on or buy some from LMC Truck that bolt on. The mounting screws for the newer grille are different but it'll still bolt right up.
