Thank you. Taking your time to write this comment is much appreciated.

Hell yeah, bro! This way is by far the best way of doing this install. Love that HD Conversion on these trucks. 🔥🤘🏼💀

Thanks! ☠️

Thank you, brother. Damn, hate to hear about your wreck… but at least you’re making the best of it. You’re going to LOVE how the HD looks.

lmao! Thanks ☠️👊🏼

Thank you for taking the time to write this. Glad it helped you. Sure wish I had this video before I did mine. Lol Much appreciated 👊🏼

Appreciatecha. ☠️💀☠️ I wanted to be sure and make this video because a lot of people including me couldn’t find good information on how to do the conversion. It seems that those who know aren’t telling. Lol What truck do you have?

That 2018 would look good! But, I really like the 11-14 HD…. Either way you can’t go wrong. Thanks for the support. 💀👊🏼

Really appreciate you taking the time to give positive feedback. Most people only have something to say when they’re trolling. I’m really glad I was able to help you, I wish this video was out there when I did my conversion.

@@thatsinglecabchevy1426 hey man how did you go about buying the bumper ? did you buy buy just bumper and brackets/side brackets or like did you go find a 2500 and take off all brackets + the hardware I wanna how to go about getting everything.

@@j.e.t.lifetothenextlife200 I was looking for an OEM paint grade bumper, so I purchased my bumper and brackets used from a local marketplace. It was a very affordable way to go about it, as it came with all the brackets, screws, etc. The only brackets I purchased new were the side brackets which I got from carparts.com.

Appreciate ya Bro! You’re going to love the HD set up. 💀👊🏼

Really appreciate it. 😎🤙🏼💀

Could you do a list of parts you needed ti buy?

Appreciate it 🔥💀

Sick! Thanks bro, appreciate ya! 💀👊🏼

Thank you, really appreciate the positive feedback.

Good to hear you got it on. 🔥 Personally I love the look of the HD front end on these trucks. Thanks for the feed back, bro 💀👊🏼

@@thatsinglecabchevy1426 i love the look too my truck looks like a whole different truck now thanks to you,i really cant say how much i apreciate you saved me alot of money keep up the fire videos bro next thing on my list is buying all the fog light accessories and do the install on it too 💯💯🔥🔥

Thanks bro. Your stock hood will work, and I personally like the sleeker look. You can use any 07-14 grille with the 11-14 HD bumper.

Lol, Thanks bro 💀

Appreciate ya, ☠️👊🏼

Pro Charger badass! 🤘🏼 I wanted OEM, LTZ so I sourced my color match on Facebook marketplace. Took about 6 months of looking, lol You could try that route or there is a link in the description for the chrome set up. Here is a link of a company I’ve used in the past for color match.

…the 1500 and 2500 grilles are interchangeable. You can run the 1500 grille with the 2500 bumper or the 2500 grille with the 1500 bumper. The only thing is the 2500 grille sticks out about a 1/4” on the top sides of the 1500 hood. Some guys like this look as it has that old school slant back low profile vibe.

Thank, brother. Is there anything in particular you are interested in knowing about the side brackets?

@@thatsinglecabchevy1426 a few things I’m wondering is where exactly are they mounted on the body, how important are they. Maybe just maybe if you could make a whole video on it that would be great. Or just tell me all about it because it’ll help me out a lot once I get my bumper

@@danielbalke9635 They are very important. The side brackets keep the bumper sides from vibrating while you’re driving. Also keeps it from sagging on the sides, relieving stress on the main front brackets. You use the 11-14 HD 2500 side brackets and they mount to the HD bumper just like factory, and you use your factory mounting location on your 1500 frame. On the frame mounts, they only line up with the mounting location closest to the frame. If you want to use both mounting locations here, you’ll need to drill it out. Please let me know if this helps. If not I’ll shoot you a quick video. 💀

can i use the 1500 side braces?

Your timing was perfect. I just wrapped up a quick tutorial on how to install the wiring harness and headlight switch for the fog light upgrade. Doesn’t include how to install the fog lights, because they’re simple pop in and out. Super easy to do. Here’s the link - let me know if this was helpful. Thank you for your request. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nLqGabCK08mzdn0.html

Thanks. The 11-14 hd grille will fit with your 09 1500 bumper. I had this set up on my 09 before I did the bumper conversion. If you want to do the bumper conversion, you’ll want to use the same 11-14 hd setup. Looks way better than the 1500 in my opinion.

You’re welcome., hope this video helped. 💀

The 2500 and 1500 side brackets are different. You’ll will reuse your 1500 frame mounting brackets, and everything else uses the 2500 brackets.

@@thatsinglecabchevy1426 ok sounds good thank you so much for the info.

💀🤘🏼

Thanks bro! It’s the 11-14 HD LTZ grille. I got mine NOS off eBay.

With the grille off, loosen up the frame mounting bracket bolts (4 total). If you’re doing it alone, leave them tight enough to hold as you move it or have someone gauge it for you. Place the crowbar (curved end) under the frame bracket, and pry back toward the truck. This will lift up and back on the bumper assembly. I used a 1 1/4” (give or take) piece of foam to gauge the sides of the bumper where it meets the fender. It’s a tighter fit than factory. 👍🏼 Once in position, tighten up the bolts one side at a time. Hope this helps. ☠️👊🏼

Not two on top but the ones on the side of the frame

@@figet0358 If the side brackets are pulling down on the bumper ends (when tightening the outside/lower bolt, you’ll need to measure the gap between the mounting bracket and side mounting brace. Then, use a spacer equivalent or slightly larger to that distance so you can tighten it up without pulling down on the bumper ends. For instance, let’s say on the driver side (no bolt installed) you have a 1/2” gap between the side brace and side mounting bracket, then you’ll need to cut a 1/2” spacer or slightly larger to fill in this gap. If you don’t have any spacers, you could also stack washers to fill this space.

No I use the 11-14 HD bolts. The only bolts I reused were the 1500 frame bracket bolts.

Appreciate it. I wanted the color match so I had to buy an OEM used one. If you’re looking for chrome, the cheapest I found was on eBay. Here’s the link: Chrome Bumper: ebay.us/P Chrome Bumper Cap: ebay.us/nedZzW

Appreciate ya! ☠️👊🏼

I can’t remember. There are schematics online that will give you the OEM bolt numbers. I found them under Chevy dealer websites then gave the OEM numbers to a third party seller that sold them at half the price.

Uupper and lower bolts: GM Multi-Purpose Bolt 11589012 Aftermarket: 115890212

Yessir

The 07-13 1500 grille will work with the 11-14 HD bumper.

That’s Wierd mine has gap on driver side and the passenger fits like oem

My driver side is the same, sticks out 3/4”. If you want the perfect fitment, you’ll need to get the 2500 HD wheel liners. …but with that said, I have an idea in mind of how to fix the 1500 originals. I’ll put up a video either way I go.

The brackets are all you should need.

Grille fits right in. Only adjustment you may need to do is on the bumper itself.

I still have the 1500 hood.

@@thatsinglecabchevy1426 oh I gotcha. It just looked taller from the front view like how the 2500s do.

Yes sir, will be the same install on your 2008 with body lift. The HD will look good on it. 🔥💀👊🏼

You will reuse the original 1500 bolts for the 1500 frame mounting brackets, but all the 2500 HD brackets will require the 2500 HD bolts.

@@thatsinglecabchevy1426 do u know where I can get them

Would be awesome, but I don’t think so. Too many variables between the years. Don’t get me wrong, put enough time and money into anything and you can get it done… But I don’t think it would be practical.

The front bumper to grille should come out good, just focus on the sides. I used the curved side of a medium size crowbar to get the side gaps tight. With the frame bracket bolts loose, I put the crowbar under the 1500 modified frame bracket and pried back while I had someone else hold a 1/4” piece of heavy foam to gauge the bumper / fender side gap.. Once the gap was good, I righted up the bracket bolts, then did the other side the same way. Doing one side at a time is easiest.

Everything you’ll need to know is in the video. Products links are in the description box below the Video.

Not sure if you're looking for the color match grille and bumper or chrome. The color match bumpers are currently unavailable. I looked for about 2 months before I found this OEM 2011 that was in good condition on a local online marketplace. Don't get me wrong, I still had to paint it lol. The color match grilles are no longer in production as well, but there are still some available. I added links for the color match and the chrome sets below. These were the best prices I could find.

Thank you Appreciate it

Hope I'm not asking a stupid question but the piece that's under the bumper... "I'm not sure what's it called"... But did you paint that??? I'm trying to look for that piece in white on eBay and I can't. It's all black ones or chrome.

You need around 12 10mm bolts for the brackets alone. Then get

Then get 15 star point 1.5 inch screws for the bottom valence. And for the fog light bezels you use the bolts from the old bumper

You can use the 2500 frame mounting brackets, but I don’t recommend this install method. The 2500 frame brackets sits about 2-3” higher than the 1500 brackets, as the 2500 truck body sits a little higher. You would need to section the 2500 frame bracket to keep the bolt on method, or you would have to weld the 2500 brackets to the frame and cut the excess off. By doing this, you also lose a pivot point for proper alignment of the bumper. No one really does this anymore, as it is more complicated and time consuming. The simplest way is how I’ve shown.

@@thatsinglecabchevy1426 the link for the chrome set up isn’t popping up can you put it up again?

You will only reuse you 1500 frame mounting bracket bolts. The 2500 bumper assembly uses different bolts/screws.

Looks like they use the same brackets, but I haven’t done the gmc yet.

Yes

Where can i order them?

@@alexrodriguezLtz Here’s a link to Amazon. This is the bracket that supports the fog lights and corner side brackets. amzn.to/3mqv3c1

All bolts/brackets are for the 2500, with the exception of the main frame/bumper bolt/bracket - you can reuse your original here . ☠️👊🏼

No, I’ve known guys that never put them on. They just tend to sag near the wheel wells and vibrate when you’re driving.
