Just curious
Ha, more a place to start I guess and that I may end up with a better drivetrain/frame. Many of the Tahoe's have the Auto style HVAC, this one is pretty basic so I hope it will integrate into my build easier seeing I plan to use the newer firewall and floor on the old cab. I'm selling some of the Tahoe parts so hopefully the cost of this Tahoe will be close to nothing.

Good luck, Rg
Thank you. I didn't even know there was a difference in the hoods until I started this project. I really like the sloped hood. As for the riveted eyebrow, I already removed the top piece. My hood latch seems to work fine on the hood unless I'm missing something. Here's the fenders/hood and grill mocked up on the cab.
