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.

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??

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
