Last week our Yukon ate a deer. It caused significant damage to the hood, right fender, right-side headlight and marker lights, grill, tranny cooler, A/C condensor, radiator, radiator shroud, and coolant reservoir. It has 200,000 miles so I'm not terribly worried about keeping it original.
I have located a front clip for $300 but it's from a 2000 Silverado with minor damage on the driver fender, so I may need to replace that part. As chance would have it, however, our Yukon is white and the replacement clip that I found is white so as long as the colors are the same it would save me a ton of money having it repainted since I am not a body-man. The clip comes with pretty much everything I need for the repair except for the tranny cooler, but I have one of those in my shop that should work ok.
Questions:
1. Is the stock white paint color the same between the 2 vehicles, or at least close enough to not be noticable?
2. From what I understand everthing should bolt right up, correct?
3. The door profiles on these trucks have "nooks and crannies (sorry, non-technical term, there!), and are they identical between these models so that the body panels match up where they meet?
Thanks in advance, guys.
