GMT 900 2500HD Hood fit on GMT 900 1500?

[Chiefmorton]

I really like the looks of the Sierra 2500HD hoods and was wondering if one would fit on my 1500. I looked at an HD hood today and it appears it should fit. The only thing I didn't take a good look at is the vented molding between the windshield and the hood, any thoughts?

Thanks for the info, I had looked thru a couple of those threads the other but didn't find exactly the info I was looking for since those spoke mainly of chevrolet hood swaps. I should've noted GMC hood swap. The 2500HD hoods on the chevy and GMC are different. I'm gonna keep digging and doing some more research. On the chevy swap lookslike you have to change the grille to, unless I'm wrong you wouldn't have to on the GMC because both the 2500hd and the 1500's have the chrome trim piece on the nose so hood and grille alignment should be alright. I'm betting it's going to require 2500hd cowling on the 1500 to make the hood work.

I went back and did a little more checking the hood I'm after is off a 2011 Sierra 2500hd Duramax, it has the raised plastic hump in the middle. I figured if the hood would work it wouldn't take much to swap the Duramax logos over to some Vortec logos. Here's a pic of the HD hood.

I wish you were closer, I want to get rid of the Dmax hump on mine!!!! And I think that the 1500 hood looks better than mine.

LOL, if the swap could be done without much headache and we were closer I got a feeling we'd both walk away happy campers cause I'd trade ya!!

Did a little reasearch online tonight and found an aftermarket windshield cowling, the part between the back of the hood and the windshield and it had the same part # for the 1500 and the 2500HD. I just need to stretch a tape down the center of the hood and see what the length is.

A couple years late...Lol but I'm looking to do the same on here. 08 sierra 1500, looking to go with an HD hood off of an 11-13... Did you ever try out the swap??
