    not sure if i follow you....are you asking if ppl have done the 03+ front end on your truck year?


    or are you asking if ppl have done the swap for the 99-02 bodystyle? ive thought of it several times of making my truck into a SSS replica but then realize i like my Xtreme look i got going on. the 03+ looks like sh1t unless its a SSS theme or a big lifted up HD.

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

    If youre asking about converting yours to a 03-07 classic front end...I have seen 1. It was the cover truck on truckin either one or two issues ago... Check out their site and I'm sure you will find it...if I remember correctly it went into detail about the swap...


    But yeah I agree 99-02 GMC has the best front end

    I am sure it involves the fenders, hood, grille, lights, bumper, core support, and some other brackets. It would be easy if you had a 03+ truck to take things off so you could see what is needed.

    But really--why ruin the better looking truck front end for an uglier truck front end?????
