Yes.


My buddy has done the swap on his 02 Denali to the 07 front end.

And he has all the parts for his 98 GMC dually (will be it's 3rd updated Escalade front end)

I'll call him tomorrow and ask him......he's normally asleep at this hour already

I thought it was fenders, hood, lights, grille, bumper.....not sure of anything else.
I'll find out for sure though.

Okay, I'm sitting in his shop right now (waiting to test fit my wheels and center caps for the 07 prior to paint).

Take my list above, add: radiator support, bumper brackets, hood hinges, all the various brackets/harware, etc..

In his words "Basically everything from the fenders forward needs to be replaced."

Wow, so I imagine it cost him a fortune.. Guess that takes that out of the picture.. Does he have a ballpark price he spent? Or a Pic?
Thanks for your help

He bought a lot of the stuff on Ebay from what I remember, watching and waiting for deals, collecting all the parts, etc..


I can take a pic next time I'm there. The truck has the front end on it, but no paint, no glass, etc.. They bought it used for a steal of a price but it pretty much didn't have a straight body panel on the front or rear so they are slowing restoring it. But, customer vehicles come first.


He still hasn't started on his 98 dually.

what ive seen that looks really good but shouldnt cost you a fortune is the silverado front clip. ( the one with the agressive stile head lights) im not sure what year it is but i saw one yesterday and it looked awseome.
im not sure how the 07 front clip would look on your body style because ther newer ones are shaped so bubley and one older ones are more square...
