Default Silverado 06 to 03 front end swap??

So in a couple months I may have a 2006 rcsb silverado coming. So naturally I will be building a SS clone. Im want the 03-05 front end on the truck. Just curious if this is a big deal and what all I have to buy to make it happen. Right now Im thinking just a hood and front end. Anything else???

I would put the money to the cladding and bumpers, that stuff adds up quick.
Personally i would want the 06-07

ok better now, firefox went crazy on me

the cladding is the side skirts, look at that pic, from the lower bodyline down there is cladding, they dont make them for regular cabs so they have to be custom made from originals
