Is it possible to put Yukon front on an Avalanche?

[toffee]

Just a crazy idea. If I want to convert an 2006 Avalanche to look like Yukon from the front. ie, putting Yukon's hood, front fenders, grill, lights, and bumper on an Avalanche. Possible?

How interchangeable are the body panels?

First post, great forum.

Well, notwithstanding the fact that it would probably look awful ... everything is possible with enough time, effort, and money. For example: http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26142

Get money, fab skillz and time and it's all yours bro these things are never bolt up time mods...

I rember seeing a few years back an article in Trukin how they swapped a Denali front cap and side body cladding onto an Avalanche. It bolted right up. And the cladding from a Denali XL will fit right.onto the body, along with the running boards.

The fenders and bumper of '01/'02 tahoes and yukons looked very similar. So I am kinda hoping I can swap the avalanche front with Yukon's and create that funky Yukon-avalanche.

Or, as it shall henceforth be known: AvalOn!

Apparently, it has been done before!! Except that this one was seriously lowered and i have no intention of doing so.

its deff the sickest avalanche ive seen

I don't understand what the deal is with the GMC badging ... I mean just because someone slapped a different front end on doesn't make it a GMC. Plus if one is going to go through all that money and trouble to mod that avy why even have emblems?

It would still look awful without the GMC badging imo, but at least it would make sense.

its deffinently different. i think it looks cool but not my style. first time ive seen that.

I agree with you Soulsea....

 

[1lowhoe04]

its something different every one has an idea this guy wanted something no one had and had all the parts around from his wrecked truck and then some parts from a old 50s model truck ! so use what you have and its bagged

I would think it to be a direct swap since all the panels match and the internals are basically the same.

I think it's constipated, needs an enema

I'm not sure why you removed the thread you originally linked as it is exactly what the op is talking about: http://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7789 ... but it clearly shows that although it may be a 'direct swap' it certainly isn't a direct fit. That smirky gap between the hood and the grille clearly shows that.

Again, not my taste, but I'm gonna stop hatin'.

he was hoping you didn't catch that
