Has anybody seen a WBH with an original Cladded nose incorporated? That would be a really cool mod. I'd like to do it but don't have a clue of what to do to make it look integrated.

WBH with Cladded Nose?

not yet..... 
would be a big project though... the whole front clip would have to be changed.... the hood is different too

not to mention the bottom trailing edge of fenders have to be worked to fit the WBH lines. how would the bumper issue be addressed? a "cladded" bumper? 
this would bring out the little bit of cladding the WBH has.

Well I think your concept is COOL even though it doesn't fit my taste.
I think the closest relative to your concept is the Nissan Frontier Pick Up!!
Your concept is most easily achieved by taking a Cladded Av and pulling off all the Cladding except the Nose Piece!!!
Sometimes concepts are most easlily achieved in reverse!!!

all the wbh guys are going with the silverado ss front bumper and cover since everything is bolt-on modding.
kinda leaves everything hanging as far as what to do with the rear bumper to make everything flow though.

on the other side of the coin, if you did swap a cladded front end on a wbh it would not flow because the front fender and rear quarter lines are different. cladded versions have a big bulge over the wheels and wbh models have the same lines as the truck. another thought is that chevy could easily make the suburban look like the wbh av if they attached the rear section of a burb on a wbh platform, it would'nt surprise me if 06 burbs popped up in that attire. i see it coming if burbs don't get a redesign soon, because that is gm's trend.
I have a mag that has a silverado pickup with the AV nose on it. One little pick and no info. Green I think with silver flame job.
Looked nose heavy.

Best bet is to take off the WBH bumpers, sandblast the chrome off and then paint them the body color. That would allow everything to flow into the lines better.
I have pics of a Silverado I did if I can figure out how to upload them.

This has kinda gotten off subject, I just like the "face" of the cladded version and wondered if someone had seen a successful WBH with cladded face before.
