Default Should I go 2500HD conversion front end?

I have a few different grilles here(chrome Tahoe with billet, white/chrome with speed grille) and my cowl hood, but I'm thinking about going to the 2500hd front end and hood setup. Do you guys think it would flow good with my truck? Here's how it sits at the moment.

It'd look great. I'd love to go that to mine but traction problems, stance preference, and a good fuel system take priority lol.

I know exactly what you mean! Luckily I'm on the back 9 with this 80e swap, so its time to do alittle more cosmetic differences to make it my own. Nothing more expensive than having the truck sit around so I can look at it and find other ways to spend money on it.

It's getting a new roof and wood this year. We're also getting a metal shed and tearing down that old one. We've been working on the inside of the house and now finally getting to the outside.

DO IT...DO IT...DO IT! I'm with him^^^^ and if you have the funds and resources then do the conversion. It looks tough and I think it makes those trucks flow real well. Hell I think just adding the hd hood makes a killer difference. Converting the whole front end will be the cherry on top IMO!

I think the same thing! Tough look and different from the many cowl hoods on 99-02 Silverados/tahoes running around this part of the world. I found an hd hood for $150 so I think I'm going to jump on it. I can sell my hood and easily pay for the hd hood and possibly a grille.
