Im wanting to do the hd front in conversion on my 2010 crew cab silverado. Does anyone know what all is needed in order to do it? I know hood grille bumper. Any other parts? And maybe a ball part figure too?
 
hard to say, oem and aftermarket are two different things.

look online at CL and LKQ. I'd guess $200 or so for a hood, grilles aren't super expensive, maybe $100, and bumper, just guessing, $150, plus paint unless you get lucky and find painted parts
 
Cool I know we talked about it jared just wasnt sure if its all bolts right up or need different brakets too. I doubt ill find a color matched one with my color. I havent even seen a hd my color unfortunately.
 
no brackets needed. I will say, try to buy oem. Especially for the hood. Aristeo ran an aftermarket hood and he said it sucked, his dad make a support for the center and it helped. He said it was flimsy on the highway.
 
I knew it wouldn't take long before you dropped it. Want advise? Do it right the first time. This truck, as you know, is a tad different with drop options. I'm not certain what is best, ask around. Or say fuck it and buy coilovers! GWEE has a rcsb with coilovers. And by do it right the first time, since you are doing it, you can do it right. Rather than the other truck you bought. The right shocks makes a world of a difference. Keep those helpers you have and fab them up too.
 
ok got my 2010 hd bumper and 2010 grille but when I get the bumper on it still sits high and grille cant go on. I have looked up to se if there is a difference between part numbers from 1500 and 2500 bumper brackets and stuff but all same part numbers.
 
Ok got my 2007-2010 3500hd bumper and grille. What do I need to make my bumper fit right? Im guessing new bumper brackets since the ones on my truck make it sit to high. Do I need to buy the 3500 bumper brackets?
