Convert a 2003 Silverado to GMC Front End

I've always like the 99-2002 front end better than the 2003+ chevys. I ended up with a 2003 chevy and am curious how hard a conversion to a 2003 gmc front end would be. I'm sure it can be done but what will it take. New fenders, hood, core support, and grill?

Ironic, I always wanted to go the other way with my GMC.

I would look into getting a complete front clip from the salvage yard.
