ill 08 WT grill to standard LT grill
 
I picked up a 08 1500 WT that is in amazing shape. Old gentleman didnt drive much, It was garage kept and only as 41,000 miles (yes its real, in the glove box is all the dealer oil changed over the years.

Anywsy its a shortbox single cab and I'd like to put the regular LT grill and driving light valance corners on it to put a little lipstick on her.

Anyone know if its MAJOR parts swap to make the LT grills fit the W/T front end?
Slummit has a $600 kit that has headlights , grill, bumper, valance corners,, everything. Is that because you NEED everything to make the grill change, or is it just a crash kit?

hmmm maybe this kit from carparts.com is the answer,, but is it a direct fit to swap out the WT to LT
Really hard to tell if there is dimensional differences anywhere or if it's the same just not shiny.

Maybe a aluminum bumper and a little paint would achieve what i am looking for

GMC is easy, you just change the grille insert. Most GMC's have chrome bumpers and the headlights are the same. Silverado is a bit more involved, some have body-colored bumpers and end caps, some chrome. The air dam is the same (I think the headlights are too), and you should be able to use the black valance. Try looking in the salvage yards, might find an LT with the parts you are looking for.
