I've seen it done on a truck, but you would likely need the whole doghouse, fenders and all...

it should be just a bolt on, i doubt that it all fits different, just me though

im not all sure, but the headlights and turns might not fit into the same mounts beacuse of the year, but also the new hood and fenders would be needed beacuse of the shape...also the shape of your bumper is to high in the middle of fit the same convex shape of the grill...but if you can get it to work out let us know

apparently i am missing something here, of course i only see one picture because of Government comps, are you asking about a different body style as in a different year?

anything can be done. go down to the stealership and see if they know anything about it. or go ask your local auto body mechanic im sure he has worked on them before

Hey 4Gstarion,

Your gonna need all this stuff from a GMC in order to convert the front end, Though it looks like an easy swap the tahoe/suburban hood and fenders are quite different from the GMC.. Oh and dont forget a front bumper..

Hood
Fenders
Headlights
Parking lamps
Bumper

You can leave the core support and the headlight hangers in, But all the front sheetmetal has to be swapped..

I hope this helps a little bit..

nvm then thank you all for the help i thought it would be a easy quicky

I was looking at this as well. It looks like you would have to swap the whole thing out. Fenders, hood, lights, grill and bumper.

But since the frame is the same it should all just bolt up. You just need to find someone local with a yukon that was rear ended and grab the parts from it.

Would this be the same case for my 2000 Yukon. I've been thinking of converting the front end to either Denali or Escalade. Most likely Denali because of the price.
