11-14 front end swap on 09 LMM

[ZeroGravity58]

After I made my last post my truck decided to eat a head gasket...while it apart now I figure I finally do the lml front end swap. I have a few questions for those who did it. I have found all the parts for the bumper/ brackets and grill. I want to run a cowl hood and I'd like to go fiberglass as my garage door is low so the hood doesn't open all the way. I'd like something I can take off and move by myself. Hardwood makes a hood for 7-13 1500 which if I understand fits 7-10 2500's. My question is would it all line up? I don't want to make a 1k mistake and stuck with a hood I can't use.

You’ll need a lml hood to make it look 100%

The front moulding is slightly different on the LMM and in return makes the body line slightly off. But to make it work correctly you’ll need a lml hood.

That's what I want my front end to look like, my truck is also white. Does anyone make a fiberglass lml hood that's decent?

 

[lutzjk]

Just to be clear I still have a lmm hood as well. I wasn’t going down that worm hole

I’ll try to get a pic to show you the line I’m talking about.

I heard the beds fit as well.. LML 6'6 beds are a lot easier to find then the 7-10 beds

I had no idea this was a thing. Good luck Jon, hope it works out.
Joe, the truck looks great!

I'm gonna call harwood and ask about the hood. I'd like to run a fiberglass hood with the lml front but I can't find a decent lml fiberglass hood. The stock hood I cant get off by myself. Need something I can take on and off and not have to call someone. I just don't want it to not line up and look ridiculous

I thought they were the same 07-14

IDK I know the sides are different and the tail lights are different

Chevrolet and GMC are different, but 07-14 are the same for each make.
