I Have A 1997 Silverado And Have Several Questions Regarding An Escalade Clip And Interior!

I have a few questions regarding a 1997 C1500/Silverado. This truck was a former show truck that was in Sport Truck. Here is what it used to look like:



I have the truck now. It has a different paint scheme and a different front clip. It still has an Escalade Clip, but it is a different one than it had before. When the truck was Orange and Silver, it had a Chrome bumper with the Escalade clip. However, the way it is now, it just has a regular Escalade bumper. Here is what it looks like now:



Anyway, I would like to put another Chrome or Steel bumper on it, but I am having trouble finding one. Does Cadillac make one that will fit directly on this clip? If not, does anyone else know of a Chrome or Steel bumper that will bolt on without any modifications? I saw a featured truck on Sport Truck that had a 2001 Cadillac Escalade clip with a 2001 GMC Sierra Chrome bumper. Would a 2001 Sierra bumper work?

On a side note: Will an Escalade Interior bolt down in the truck, or will I have to put in a factory 1997 C1500/Silverado Interior? The interior that is in it now is brown and I am going to change the whole interior to gray. I would like to put a complete interior from an Escalade in it (Dash, Door Panels, Front Seats, Carpet, Rear Seat, etc.). Can this be done without any modifications? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

THE BUMPER THAT WAS ON THE TRUCK (CHROME) WAS A 2001 GMC BUMPER, TAKES VERY LITTLE TO MOD. IT TO FIT, AND THE 99 & 2000 ESCALADE INT. BOLTS RIGHT IN!

agreed w/ salas. the chrome bumper is from a 99-02 gmc truck. you have to make some brackets for to bolt up, but its not bad at all.

also, the esky interior will swap out. pretty straitforward.

So, it doesn't have to be a bumper from a Denali? It can just be a regular bumper from a Sierra? Thanks guys for the information. Definitely what I was hoping to hear. lol

The bumper you have on it now has it been cut to work on a bodydrop?

Thanks for the picture! That is exactly how I want my front end to look! That is CLEAN! Is that an Escalade Clip with 2001 GMC Bumper?

I am not sure if it has been cut or not, but it doesn't look like any modifications have been made to it.

I have a 06 gmc bumper on it now off of the sierra trucks. I'm just frame so you might have to trim lil off the bottom and if u look closely on ur first pic of your truck the bumper goes up to the chrome piece by billet grill they trim the bumper out and raise it up and have grill sit behind it
