Steve, Looks like they totaled the body. Correct? Are the mechanical pieces ok?

If so,,, then why not pull the body off with the parts and pieces and put on another body. I have gotten Trooper bodies for next to nothing, and compared to the cost of a TaHoe with fiancing. A heck of a savings. And just so you'll know, The body mounts are in the same place. Just swap over the entire donor wiring harness (seats & stuff) and it'll run like it did before without all the hassels. And, if you go 1st gen then it'll run better because of the weight difference. Plus, It'll be paid for! You won't need the V8 and all it's poor fuel milage and dealership hassels. I'd rather build my own custom truck than pay some Dealer and Finance Company all that money.

If the frame or suspension are damaged then swap the motor and tranny and other pieces that are in good shape. Not as easy, but still a hell of a lot cheaper.

Heck, I have a Trooper body I got for free! Nothing cooler than an upgraded 1st Gen Trooper in my opinion.

If I had my new shop built I'd buy the whole truck and do it myself.

Did I say,"I hate FINANCING"?
