LB7 to LBZ Duramax Front End Conversion! Cat Eye Hood and Grill Swap

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Swap out your 03 Chevy Silverado front end for an 06 front end with ease! The whole conversion is a simple bolt on process. My total cost was about $450 for parts minus $100 for damages from RockAuto. Now off to paint!

    You can peal the chrome on the grill so you can color match it. You can also buy painted front and rear bumpers so you can color match those as well

    You don't have to replace the hood. Just replace the grille and put a bug deflector for the 06 to match the grille flat top. The bug deflector will cover the gap from the new grille and original hood.

    @@anthny8276 fron the flat top of the 06 grille to the top of the arch of the 04 hood leaves a gap probably about 2 inches. But a bug deflector for a 06 has the same mounting holes as the 04 hood. Covering the gap and making it look clean.

    Ryobi is Milwaukee in a different color, or should I say, Milwaukee is just Ryobi in a different color with a higher price tag. Research is your friend. There are only 2 power tool companies that are still privately owned and manufactured in their home countries. Makita and Hilti. Everything else is a knockoff of one another owned by the same 3 companies, laughing at idiots like you spending more money on the same tool because it's a different color.
