Default HD Grille with non-HD hood

I have searched, and have not been able to find any information on this

If you use the HD grille/06-07(Classic) without the HD hood, is there going to be any interference between the two?

I have an 05 RCSB.

im pretty sure the hood that comes on all the 06-07 classic is an hd hood.....someone correct me if im wrong.....the front bumper on the 06-07 classic hd is bigger i know of, but that wont affect you with the grill, just throwin that out there...

Your standard 05 Grille will work with the 05 up HD Hood,

But there will be a gap.

The Big Chevy HD that Kelderman suspension lifted hasd this hood grille combo on it. Might be on their website. It has music note graphics wrapped on the body and is silver birch.

So using the 05 grille with the 05 up HD hood will create a gap.

Will using the 06-07 grille with the standard 05 hood create an overlap of the hood and grille?

Anyone happen to have a picture of this?

You can use the newer hood with the older grill, but it won't look right with the gap and overhang. You cannot use the newer grill with the older hood though

Well, no one would ever say exactly why the HD grille would not work, just that it "doesn't".

So I bought one, and yes, it works just fine. I measured both the old and new, and they are the EXACT same dimensions when it comes to the mounting tabs.

The only difference is the older style grille has that curve at the top to match the older style hood, as the newer HD hoods are flat. You can see the gap created in the picture.
