Hey so what exactly needs to be done so I can put the HD front end on mine if u can please explain. Or point me in the right direction.

to do the HD conversion you will need 4 pieces..an HD hood, grille, and the upper bumper cap and the chevy bowtie for the grille..now for the grille to fit right you will need to cut the bumper mounts and lower then i believe an inch and a half and weld the mounts back on..replace the bumper cap and put the bumper back on, now the bumper will sit at the right height, after that simply directly replace the grille and bolt on the hood..hardest part id say would be removing the stock bumper cap and relocating the bumper mounts

Looks good. Can't wait to see it finished. I'm slowly on my way to doing this mod also, I'm just a little hesitant about dropping the bumper.

Do you have part numbers? I am looking at doing this but haven't found any specific part numbers for everything. And it seems that somewhere I seen that you need to use the hd bumper braces.
thanks

i dont have any part numbers sorry man but autoparts warehouse ebay amazon OEM and certifit carry all the parts. ive heard of that too but you would still have to cut and weld because the bumper mounts are part of the chasis

okay so i realized today a shop wants to charge extra because my bumper pad is textured soo its alot more work soo for now it will stay black and the grille will be painted along with the hood with the two tone..for 350 not a bad price and the work the guy does is real nice i wish i took a pic of a denali he had with raised flames really looked cool
