Clipped a pole pretty good now having to replace front bumper, hood, radiator supports ac condenser fans and of course all airbags and sensors popped. I’m in the process of ordering parts and I can’t find a solid answer of the difference between (headlight Mounting panel) and (grille mounting panel)

going to do all of this myself in my shop but first time doing so on a truck with a million sensors so If anyone has any tips/links I thank you in advance!

Sunday I’ll be swapping to the newer frontend 2016-18 LTZ 
parts I’m taking off are only parts for sell 

Bumper, Grill with grill support, Headlights with harness, Fogs with harness, hood and Front assembly panel/header panel

 I would find this a good project if I had the time, space and plenty of money.  If you're doing this as a cost saving strategy and/or depend on this vehicle as a daily driver, then you may want to rethink.  Get estimates from several body shops.  In the process you'll learn more about the extent of the damage.  I suspect the airbag replacement may put your truck into the not worth fixing category.

May not be carrying full coverage insurance? Could always fix and use it as a off road or wood hauler.

Sometime it’s just easier to fix then to spend another 20,000$ or more on another truck, me personally I’d just fix it. If your local I have a friend that can fix it at a cost.

I know the hood is made of a softer metal, but, WOW!

 

Look at the front bumper, that is a solid piece, makes me wonder how far out of alignment is the engine sitting now?

 

Would also think there has to be some sort of frame damage too.

Yea, "clipping" to me would be grazing/sideswiping the pole.

 

That was a full blown running into and stopping you in your tracks hit.

Or a new vehicle suited for that kind of impact:

Aww man that sucks big time. I am confident you're going to need a frame machine. Frame horns will be bent in and pointing at each other. Going to be a nightmare just removing that bumper. Can you write it off? Or was it one of "those nights". Looks like the pole come down and got the roof too, hopefully the A pillars aren't tweaked.
