what all is there to doing a front end swap on 88-98 gmc to 03-06 chevy? any pics of process or finished product would be greatly appreciated. i just wanna know what i'm getting in to prior to tearing apart.

i love that front end swap. only thing i hate is how it makes the front wheel opening. it makes it look to big and the wheel doesnt look center to me. that frontend is my favorite. and thats a good looking swap.

In the dually pic I'm pretty sure they cut the fender to fit the semi wheels. But yeah, something needs to be done to make it look better

here's one we did. we used the lights, the light brackets, bumper, bumper cap, grill, hood, and fenders. we just used a few inches of the hood and fenders so that the truck retained it's stock body lines. but if i were to do it again, i'd just build those little sections from scratch. they're simple enough. we also took two inches out of the width of the bumper, built brackets to suck it up tight, then took an inch and a half out of each side of the bumper so it lined up with the wheelwell opening. also did a sheetmetal valance. i like the way these look on these trucks.
