Default Working through an idea - ARB Bumper on a GMC - Ideas?

ok guys, I need some help thinking something through here. I really like the look of the ARB bumpers like this:



The problem is, they do not make them for GMC's, only Chevy's. Now comparing grille/bumper pics, it looks like I would have to cut the grille flush with the bottom of the marker lights/turn signals to get it to work. I though about going for some sort of 99-02 Silvy grille hybrid, but I think that the difference in the hood line would prevent that from being a practical option.







Thanks to LaCuerva for the comparison pic.

im not sure, youd prob need the chevy bumper mounts, maybe not have to cut you grill since chevy hds that year grill went down below the markers also

They make a bumper for the Chevy light duty trucks also, but did not have a good pic. My other concern is where the bumper meets the lower front corner of the fender, that is a little different depending on what year Silvy it goes with. The '03-06 Silvy 1500's grilles (pic added above) also come down a bit in the middle and also have the fender edge that cuts straight across like my GMC does, but I have no way to know if it is at the same relative height to where the bumper would bolt up.
