Public cant buy from the auctions. You would have to go through a broker. I work for a dealer. Yes I live just north of denver. I am in farmington this week for work.

I can buy a license for $200/yr. But that is either here nor there. I digress:

I am interested in the hood, the two front fenders, the 6 flares (rears are two piece) and the center bumper insert if it is any good. I dont mind using screws to hold it up, but how torn is it? Oh, and a rear bumper insert. Not the step pads, just the plastic under the plate, between the step pads.

I have cash, and am not in a hurry. I can road trip to meet you, or wait until the next time you are in Farmington/ Northern NM and meet you. I dont mind waiting until it is convenient for you to meet, as these are just cosmetic things for me. If the Hoe has Nav, I would be interested in the radio tray and the bezel surround too.

I got everything stripped off the tahoe today. The 5.3 was oil locked. Pulled the plugs, made a mess and a smoke show but it runs great! The body pulled off.

I am trying to decided to shorten the bed 3 inches or strech the frame. I think since I have to do so much modifying to the bed it would be easier just to shorten the bed.

KILLA PROJECT!!!!!!!!
I'm thinking of buying a wrecked nnbs truck/suv with the 6.2l and swapping everything over to my nnbs ncsb GMC. Seems easier doing it that way then trying to find all the parts.

I keep going back and forth on this also. Very interested to see the results. What transfer case are you going with? If I go with a transfer case I am thinking of a 4WD NP261 or NP263. The 2nd number distinguishes the strength so according to everything I have read the 6 is stronger than the 4. Not that I have ever heard of a 4 breaking.

Planning on the stock escalade Borg Warner 4481 with upgraded with components from the newer BW 4482 to fit the 80!

Got that idea from 03superSLADE

Im not familiar with 03superSLADE, do you know what kind of power he is putting through one? I really couldnt find any info as to how much they would handle. One of my problems are, I just want to shorten my driveshaft, and it is already setup for the 4l80e, plus everything to hook it to the 4l80e is much cheaper.

There is a little info in there. He has 700+ HP. Its either give this one a shot for 300-500 or spend 1300-1400 on a nvg149. I thought I would see what this can handle first.
