Who has a raised hood on a 05 GMC 2500HD? Anyone wanna trade? LOL I was wondering if anyone has the part # for the raised hood on the new GMC 2500... Sux that mine didn't come with it! Also is it a direct bolt on I know a few of the silverado members have done it but any GMCs???

GMC hasn't changed their look since 2003, when they changed the fog lights/front bumper. I don't think a GMC has EVER come with a dome hood, ala 01-02 and 05 Chevy's.

If you want a domed hood on a GMC, you'd have to go aftermarket.

Tom...you are 100% correct on that one! GMC hasn't had a sheet metal change since the GMT800 began build in 1999. All the changes to the GM front has been Grille/Bumper! They was never a raised or domed hood on the GMC out of the factory.

I know that I'm not going crazy there are about 4 trucks here local with raised hoods? The might be 3/4 ton trucks they are GMC's with raised hoods?

:( I have been told the same thing. The GMCs have never come with raised hoods.

:offtopic: Tom, do you have a full size pic of that kickin avatar?

There is a company out there that has a nice raised look hood for the GMC, I will see if I can find the link and post it sometime. I also know that in 2007 the GMC will get a new look for the hood and it is suppose to be compatible with the older model trucks. That will be something to consider.

They are aftermarket hoods then. They are not offered out of the factory.

I have a 05 chevy with the raised hood and don't like it. If I knew that your hood would fit I would trade. My truck is white also.
