I assume the same is true for putting an '02 Chevy front end on a '03 and later Chevy?

I did not like my cat eye front end either, and the bumper and fenders were rotted so I put on a GMC front clip I had. I also went above and beyond to put a Denali bumper on my 2500HD, which meant cutting the frame and welding on 1500 brackets.
The core support is taller by about 2" due to the frame differences, but the fenders line up fine. You also have to change the plastic headlight brackets but thats easy. The cat eye ones are specific to that front, the GMC and 99-02 are all the same according to the part numbers. The fender inner liners are HD specific as well, but are the same between all years as far as I can tell. I reused my HD liners on the GMC fenders. Flares are all the same too.
GM did make a 1500 Denali, but not a 2500. It was worth the effort as I like the Denali the best.
