Tahoe avalanche conversion

[Buckshot jones]

Is this doable? I just want the headlights grille bumper and hood from an avalanche. I imagine the fenders will need replaced also. Will this stuff plug and play or will mods have to be done

Subbed.

 

[Buckshot jones]

?

edit: had to look up the definition of subbed lol. It would look sweet, wouldn't it?

Yeah I just meant subscribed to the thread so I can follow along. It's an interesting idea, one I've never heard of. I'm having a hard time picturing it.

isn't the avalanche front clip the same as the Silverado?

Correct. Same as the 1500 Silverado I believe.

I always wanted to put the Silverado bumper on my Yukon but never really thought too ******* it, I would look and go naw to much work, lol

 

[Buckshot jones]

Yep I realized it's the same as the Silverado after a bit. I really want to swap out tho. Mine needs a new hood fenders and bumper anyways and I'm not the biggest fan of the 00-06 Tahoe front. Anyone ever hear of switching an 05 to an 07? The 07 tahoes are pretty sexy

I found a few pics of the Avalanche front on a Silverado, but found none of it on a Tahoe/Yukon. I really dislike the '03-'07 Silverado front, but this kinda makes it more acceptable:

As you can see, the front clip is different from the 03 silverado. Looks similar but is indeed different. Look at the fenders

That is a cladded Avalanche front end. The uncladded is exactly the same as the Silverado. Putting the cladded front end on would need the fenders to be modified, uncladded would be bolt on.

I dont like it. And x2 on the cat eyes. But the ss looks decent.

PLEASE DON'T DO IT!

Cladded

Uncladded

But imo Silverado clip looks sexy on our trucks. The way it should've came instead of keeping the dated 01 clip.

Oh hell no to either. I just can't stand those cat eyes, they look like Angry Birds. Worst front end design by GM ever.

I never really was a fan of the NBS Chevy front ends. But that’s just me.

They should have made the NBS pickups look like the NBS Tahoes in the front.

Didn’t they do that with the 99-02 trucks?

Yes, but then in 03 they changed them to stupid ugly. I meant to say they should have left them like the Tahoes. The 02's looked great, then from 03-06 they look stupid. I don't know what they were thinking.
