I have an 02 2500HD , how hard would it be to do a complete nose swap to the 04.5-07 style and what would it take to do it?

Front fenders, hood, grill, lights, bumper, valance, top bumper piece for sure. I can't remember if you have to change the core support and headlight wiring or not but maybe that too

I like the 01-02 exterior, but the 03-07 interior & electronics win hands down, so I live with my 2003 grill. Plus, the GMC isn't as bad.

That's why you need to buy an 03-07 GMC. :coolspot:

the chevy HD hood still looks better then the GMC, i searched for years to find the right color and year duramax and in my personal opinion the 02 chevy is the best year out of all of them, but thats just me. :thumb:

01-02 my absolute fav, 04.5-07 are my second favs and 03-04 are my absolute least favorite. id take a 99 OBS or 08-up body over those. jsut hate that grill and hood they have. 03-07 GMCs look better than the 01-02 GMCs IMHO

I would have done an 02 chevy swap if I didn't have to mess with the frame horns and whatnot. I'm pretty set on how it looks now. Kinda mean looking little lilly hehe.
