99-02 style front end conversion

The 99-07 all are easy to remove the headlights on but so what? How often does anyone do that?

I think the 03+ looks way better but I think the 07+ looks better than that. Call me a homer.

I'm not the biggest fan of the HD grille on the half ton. Sorry guys.

Hey Homer, HD grills are iffy. But like Tyler says, The hoods are the strong point. If It would fit, I think a NBS truck front end like the 427ss concept, or chevrolade's would look cool on My body style. How and if it will work is the question.

if you keep stock height tire rethink the 56's. but yea its nice but i currently hate the pedal setup

HD hood on the 1/2 ton to me looks retarded. doesnt flow at all with the lines. now if the truck was 6' up in the air its not so bad, lowerd looks like **** imho

well id be rolling some sort of 20's prolly some type of ss wheel, with a 35 series tire so itd be prolly the same deal as my current setup as far as tire height goes.

and yeah ive seen a couple 99-02 hd fronts i like but i still like the 03+ front end. im going to check out the truck tomorrow so hopefully its decent enough to spark some action on my part... if not well ill roll the WT for the summer unless something comes along.

my rears are 305/40/20 and the calculation comes to 29.5 if you do an actual tape measure it comes in around 28.6. i run 488s, dont think 456s would be enough

well id be running prolly a 285/30/20 in the rear. seems to go pretty damn good ATM but 4.88's may be the route to go. youd know more about the t-56 and ratios that i would. ahah

well with a smaller tire a less gear would work. but on the GMT-800 body i think a less then stock height tire is just too little. wheelwells are just to large
