I have a feeling that this may be on here somewhere already, but I thought I'd go ahead and ask it anyways. I've got a 2001 Sierra and really like the looks of the denali front end. What all is involved with the swap. I mean are we just talking the grille and lighting or is it more than that, ie. fenders, hood, and bumper as well? I know I've seen a white conversion on here on a 4.8 truck, just can't remember his SN off hand. Thanks in advance.

 

i believe everything has to be changed. hood, grille, bumper, fenders, and lights. but im pretty sure its an easy swap....bolts on directly into factory holes

 

if you already have a gmc then all you need are--
bumper frame
bumper cover
fog lights
grill shell
turn signals
head lights
and all the little stuff.

the hood,fenders and even a billet grill from a reg sierra is the same. look in the parts section in the lounge for the part numbers.

There's a guy on there that can get the front end for around $900

 

It cost me 1600 for the front end. Shipping included.

I didnt have fog lights, nor a bumper grill. I am getting a bumper grill made to match the regular denali grill. I do hvae fog lights though they are not oem.

I am over at mychevytruck.com My gallery is called Da' Nali

 

you don't even really have toi have the headlights. the only big pieces are the grill, bumper, fog lights, and turnsignals. styock headlights will work, they just aren't the projecter style.

 

The headlights are the best looking part of the swap! hehe

 

I actually had another thought thoday, cause I plan to lower the truck eventually. Would the Denali Grill Shell fit without the front bumper cover? Also, would the headlights and turn signals from the Denali fit into the regular Sierra Grill?

I did the swap. The Denali park lights will not fit in the Sierra grille shell; they are curved to match the Denali bumper. The Denali grille insert would fit in the Sierra shell with some slight tweaking but you can get them aftermarket already. I highly recommend this swap but it took me over a year to aquire all the parts w/o spending over 1 grand.

 

Took me less than a couple hours to uninstall my Sierra front end and install the Denali front end.
It turns heads everywhere People stop and ask me about it or just comment on it everytime I go out. A couple days ago some dude stopped me while I was going through a drive-thru and asked me about it, and some chick started asking me questions like, "I didn't know they made SCSB Denali pick ups?"
I told her, "They don't."
