swap chevy grill with gmc

I am "cleaning" up my truck and so far have removed all of the molding and decals and my next project is to modify my grill. Does anybody know if a grill from a GMC will fit onto a Chevy without much modifications? I have a 2000 Silverado 2500 (not HD) and would also possibly interested in purchasing one if anybody has one if not too much work. Any other advice would be great!

you'd have to change your lights, hood and bumper to go with it...

Basically, the cheapest route would probably be to buy a GMC front clip from a junkyard.
