Anyone heard this?? Models made in Mexico has diff. front fenders & hood.

[01YukonXL]

I just replaced my hood on my 01 Yukon with a Goodmark Cowl hood. I called a guy I know that owns a body shop and asked if he'd be interested in my stock hood. He's bought stock hoods from me before that I replaced. Gave him the last 8 digits of my VIN so he could check to see what all it would fit. He said the guy at the GM dealership said that it was made in Mexico and that the hood and front fenders are different. I think someone is smoking something. I never heard that one. Especially since I ordered my hood for my model and it fit like a glove. Maybe something is different somewhere along the line but I wouldn't think it's anything to serious. Not a big deal, he's going to buy it anyway but it just struck me as odd and thought I'd ask if anyone else had heard the like?

I know that the tahoes sold in mexico had the silverado 03-06 front fenders and hood. not sure if its the same for the yukons or why someone would bring it across the boarder and put the other fenders and hood on it.

also ive seen a 2 door NBS tahoe from mexico. not sure if it was a custom chop job or not tho

Mine does start with a "3". I don't see anything that looks any different from any other Yukon I've seen, that body style.

Mine was built in the Mexico plant, and I assure you that nothing is different.
Now Jake is correct about models SOLD in Mexico, those trucks had the Silverado front end. Perhaps your body guy is confusing that with models built in Mexico for sale in the US.

You mean like Homer Simpson's Canyonero Type-F (for female)? Had lipstick where the cigarette lighter would go! LOL
