'06 grille on '04.5???

i was wondering if anyone out there knows if the '06 grille would be a direct bolt on to a 04.5 truck?? i like the looks of the grille and was wondering if it's a direct bolt on with the headlights being a different size/shape? i think the upper bumper cover also has a little different shape to it? thanks for any help from anyone out there!

I was looking at a 06 sitting beside a 05. The bottom outside corners are not as square on the 06. I'm pretty sure it could not fit or at least look good.

The upper fascia on the bumper is different. There will be a gap.

The hood and bumper are the same. The grill, fenders, headlights, and upper fascia are different.

I was told the bumper itself was the same, but the upper fascia was different. Does that sound accurate to you?

Actually now that I think about it, the guy just told me he used it. He might have had to modify it to make it work.

on an 06.
