Gotta be careful with that 00-01 thing…

I guess I assumed there would be the obvious difference between OBS and NBS. We'd be referring to swapping NBS to NBS.

I'm sure he meant all GMT800 2000-2006, no
@drdave81 ? I believe there may be some differences on the later years for things like core support, but bumpers/valance should all be the same 00-06. Again, GMT 800 obviously.

Prior to joining this forum, I "assumed" trucks and SUVs were 99-06 GMT800, because I have a 1999 Silverado. I still sometimes forget about this.

The odd 2000 Tahoe and the 2000 Denali (?) carryover years still get me. Those are pretty rare these days though.

00-01 was a mix year, there were 00 that were GMT400 and GMT800.

For the luvuvasonuvabitch, please stop with the BS.

So there's no issue with the alignment of the front hooks?

Hey y'all I have an 02 Suburban LS. I really would like to swap in the grille and bumper/valence/fog lights from a Z71. I much prefer the look of the Z71, and how they're color matched. Also the junkyard near me has one of the same color as my truck, so that's a plus!


Question is, will this be a direct swap? Are the bumper brackets and such the same on a Z71 as on my LS model? I know there may be a bit of wiring involved for the fog lights, that's fine. Just want to make sure everything will line up.

Thanks!
