Just curious if you could fit the Chevy Silverado SS front bumper on a '05 2500HD? Thanks

I'm sure you could, with some fabing...I have no first hand experience with it. I think someone was talking about doing it on one of the other forums. I don't remember what ever came of it. I will do some searching though and post what I find.


Here's what I found after a short search: http://dieselplace.com/forum/showthread.php?t=50043

Same bumper but a differnt bumper cover isnt it?

you'd have to change the top pad to a 1500 then it would fit.

I know of a truck with the SS bumper on it. I don't have any pictures of it.

well I wanted to do this and after talking with a GM body shop, there are quite a few mods that would need to happen. The bumper on an SS is for a 1/2 ton and apparently the brackets are different, ant if you have them, you will loose the tow hooks and fog lights, both of which things i will not give up. I just couldn't make it worth it... i think that it looks sweet, but unless you change both front and back, take off your door moldings and change your grille, it still looks out of place... thats a lot of work to loose chrome

SS Bumper on 2500HD

i belive street scene makes a ss bumper cover that fits over your stock bumper (2500hd). my buddy had one on his truck.

Here's an SS conversion I did on my 2500 Quadrasteer. If you do a conversion on the 2500HD you need a smaller upper bumper pad and need to change the bumper brackets to fill the larger gap the HD has - or you can just get some longer bolts and stack up a bunch of washers at each bracket.

This makes me happy I've got some pretty serious winter plans for my rig... One of which is swapping an SS front clip onto it.

Sweet titties!

You can, he said he is swapping the entire front. Fenders, hood, lights, grill, and bumper.


Even just raising the bumper 2" makes a big difference.

Raised

Anyone else done this mod? If you have is everyone just using the bumper cover or a replacement bumper?
