2017 GMC 1500 TO A 2500 Hood Conversion

SlateTheGreat17 · September 10, 2018

There are really little to no info on these type of conversions. id figured I could help a bit and provide part numbers for converting the 1500 Sierra hoods into a 2500 with the vent. you will need to swap out the brackets and springs. I only used the brackets that attach to the hood itself, not the ones that attach to the body. it will fit directly with the Denali grille if you tweak with it a little plus you will need an extra 2 retainer clips if you grab the insulator along with it. The Denali grille is a direct bolt on as well. I attached the part numbers down below of everything. (PS I did not use the body Brackets, I did buy them but I didn't really need to use them)

what was your cost?

SlateTheGreat17 · September 10, 2018

for the grille and hood, I got them for $900(450 a pop) and the insulator/vent i got them $160. I have a connection with OEM GM parts. your cost may be a bit higher. it's a pretty penny

Could you do the swap using a SLT grille instead of the Denali?

SlateTheGreat17 · September 11, 2018

The SLE/SLT Grille is the same dimensions as the Denali, the 2500HD hood will fit. you will just have to do a bit of tweaking on the hinges/springs

Any inside pics??? Did you make the scoop functional?

I'm working Out of State and won't be back until a few weeks, I'll take some when I get back. I have the air intake Duck but I haven't installed it yet. id figured id wait until i can get a cold air intake on it.
