i got a great deal on a 06 classic grille....will it fit with out altering the hood...yes i know it goes with the hd style hood from 06 but will it work with the regular 03-05 hood? "06 grille/04hood??"

 

Ok i think i found that it will not

Edit: ok they had mixed opinions and no pics. I beleive you will have a weird gap at the top of the grill, because 06 hood drops down lower

 

hmmm.....mixed messages.

 

pretty sure you need the hood. but that is a nice looking grille.

 

ok check this out, here is sbtorks truck

and here is mine, look between the headlights above the grille

06+hood goes straight across, ours goes up

 

There will be a wierd gap and possibly some contact with the hood and grille. I remember seeing pics where someone had an 06 hood on an 05, and the hood overlapped the grille, so I assume that the 06 grille would stick out further than the 05 hood.

 

lol i did the same thing with a pic of my truck.....looks like a no go.

 

Haha it took me a while to get a pic of an 06+. I know i have seen someone with what your thinking about and it did look mismatched.

 

The only combo I've seen is an 06+ hood on a 03 truck, there was a bit of a gap between the grille and hood but it wasn't too bad, wouldn't be that noticeable on a dark color IMO

 

The 03-05 hood WILL NOT fit with the 06-07 Classic grille. The points on the hood will contact the grille so that it won't close.
