Help Escalade fenders and Silverado fenders

[fr33kachu]

I am trying to see if 1999/2000 Escalade front fenders are the same as the 1999/2000 Silverado/ Tahoe/ Yukon fenders. Does anyone have a, or know of a site to cross reference this? Thanks

They are compatible with minor differences. There's a few kits available that will convert a Silverado/Sierra/Tahoe/Yukon to an Escalade: http://www.streetbeatcustoms.com/escon.html

No because the 99/00 Silverado was on the GMT-800 platform, while the 99/00 Escalade was on the previous gen GMT-400(GMT-435 to be exact) platform. But the 2001-2006 Escalades(GMT-800) will.

Right. The first Escalades were nothing more than a Yukon Denali with a Caddy badge and they were the same as the '88-'98 trucks.

Thanks for the help guys. I am trying to convert the front end of my 90' c1500 to an escalade front end but for some reason people were charging more for the escalade fenders than the yukon and silverado fenders. I kind of figured that they where pretty much the same and aren't worth the extra $100 more. It's no different than anything else i guess. You go and get spark plugs for a bmw they want a $1 more for the same plugs that you could buy for a honda just because you said it was for a BMW.

Thanks again.

That's only on the older trucks that they were the same. The "NBS" trucks like yours, I'm quite sure they're different, because the headlights are different and the shape is a little different, because they are more boxy. THey shouldn't cosy any more though, becuase they are not that special, but they are for Cadillacs, so they do.

Ok, now does anyone recommend a vendor for body parts? I have a few things already grille, and lights, i just need fenders, and hood.

Stop by your local body shop and ask them, there are quite a few companys that make cheap factory repops. Will probably be a little over $100 a piece for fenders.

Cool, I will try that. Thanks.
