I haven't done it because I have on 03, but all you're gonna need it the grille, bumper and lower valance..and fog lights if you prefer. The Headlamps and markers and fenders and hood are all the same!!! HOwever, you may think you're getting off cheap, but just price a grille from the stealer!!! About $250 if you're lucky! Good luck bro, because it's too new for aftermarket parts!

theres a little more to it than that. GM actually changed the frame horns in 03. this is actually a blessing b/c the 99-02 frame horns are weak as hell and bend VERY easily. in order to get the 03+ bumper on your 99-02 truck you will have to change out the frame tips or build some brackets and do some hacking.

Thanks lowred, I didn't think to get technical on him, I was just talking of what panels/exterior things he might need! ALso, don't foget wiring differences, I KNOW foglights are different on 03s...something else to add to your price list!!!
