Just bought a Denali, missing front clip. need help!

[Camaro Chris]

Names Chris, I'm very new here. Now down to business. I bought an '02 Denali XL for 500$ clean title its just missing some parts. It's missing the entire front clip and all four doors I found some doors, I;m just stuck on the front clip. Is there anywhere I can find a diagram that breaks the front end down into each part? I have been looking for two weeks and nothing solid. maybe you guys can help guide me through this? the picture sucks but you can see how it sits now. Thanks in advance

Dont know about diagram. may try calling a gm dealer and see if they can send you one. They should have one. For the front clip a salvage yard would have one of those complete, usually w/ the complete front, all lights, grille, hood, fenders, supports.

ok dude... start here..

this link also has very nice drawings of the parts you are looking for

the hard part is going to be getting the fasteners as I am sure they are missing too and I am pretty sure most replacement parts do not come with the fastening hardware. I could be wrong here, but I don't think I am.

However, at this point, you are not limited to putting on just the denali front end. You can put any front clip you want!!! get creative brotha! you could turn this thing into an excalade pretty easily too, or possibly put the silverado front clip on... just a thought.

im with TY.. make it unique, since you have to replace it all anyway.. make it yours..

 

[Camaro Chris]

I have actually thought a lot about using an escalade front end

i say silvy front end, esky clip will be too boxy for all the curves on the nali

Diagrams for a 2002 Denali XL...groups 8 and 16 are likely the best places to look:

I think I'm going to stay with either a Denali or Escalade front. I have already had a silverado time for something new. thanks for all the help guy's, I'm trying you find a build were someone has changed Escalade front on a yukon now.

I think with this project I'm going 3/5 drop 24"s ALL blacked out no chrome at all and white and tan interior. but for now, I'm just collecting parts until my suburban is finished.

I would say if you are going to do an esky front clip, I would probably invest in the rest of the esky moulding as well... just a thought... it would no longer resemble a denali at all, but you would still have an escanali!

wow man....That's quite the project you have there. Was the seller parting it out and you just bought what he had left or what? As stated, you pretty much have a clean slate to work with so that part is pretty cool. It's got the potential to be a pretty unique custom...

i say you swap a cervette front clip on! hahahahahahahaha

Actually, I think an entire HD front clip would look DOPE! if this was my rig, HD front clip FTW

this shit would look great, then to top it off extra sexy style, fab up a chevy HD hood onto the GMC clip... sexy!

always wanted to see this on a tahoe too... notice how the bumper dips in the middle and the grille is bigger... i think it would set off nicely lowered on some 4's. Dont forget that beautiful HD hood.

 

[07Burb]

never thought about it but that last pic would look good on a Hoe!

it would look great! the dip in the bumper would break up the boring lines of the front end on the tahoe.

I also like the GMC HD front end idea. If done right it would definitely make it stand out from the crowd!

I think I'm going to stick with the Denali Front. So there is a guy on are local forum that wants to trade a belltech 2/4 drop kit for stock, FREE. But he is RWD so i don't think the kit will work with my AWD it's front springs and not keys

 

[jdpber]

GMC Sierra HD 2500 will bolt on perfect.. and look sick and well yea.. also there are a ton of these around,,, my vote is HD sierra clip..... but then again im extreme and planning a duramax conversion... over the top is the only option...

you need to look into what year and make this drop is coming from... all RWD, AWD, and 4X4's in this year model had front keys.

I'm with you man! I'd do the front clip conversion with an HD clip. That would look really awesome!
