There's two ways you can do it. You can take the easy route which is to take the grill, trim the bottom and use some means to fasten the lower section (ie. zip straps). The top will fasten just as the original did.
The more extensive route would be to replace the header panel, lights, grille and front bumper with the 06' style, which is also possible.
If your just going for a new look, I suggest the first route. It's a lot cheaper and easier. If you have a ranchhand style bumper you may not even have to trim it (I didn't have to), stock bumpers you will have to though.

I put an entire '06 front end on my '99 in about one hour. Everything is a direct bolt on except the bottom of the grill (just use a couple of zip ties) and the headlights. You will need to trim the headlight baskets on your truck leaving the two holes at the top of the basket for the upper fasteners on the '06 headlight Assembly's. The new headlights are one single piece and are too large to fit without cutting your factory baskets. I used a sawzall and for the upper headlight mount fasteners I used some large bristle plugs from TSC. Looks factory.
