Nose Lift

[LimeNine]

I ordered this 1997 Tahoe new, waited only 7 weeks for it to arrive.
Made the statement that I was going to keep it for 10 years or 100,000.0 which ever comes first.
after I secured the financing for it, I installed the GMC nose with a billit insert.


economy is still in the tank and it's affecting me.
No new Tahoe this year EITHER. . . .
those old headlights are hazed - snagged some new ones.
Ya have to remove the nose to replace the light assemblies


I found the original grill nose in the attic


installed the lower valence onto the chrome nose


clear lights -and I didn't break the bulbs - yippeeee


hmm, nice to switch it around, kinda looks like a new truck again




lets throw the 20's on it too


I started a second job back in 2003 to purchase these 20" wheels and tires,
I originally had them on my new 2003 GMC Z71 Sierra 4x4 - sold that truck but kept the wheels, and they fit the Tahoe


I still might spray the grill section of this chrome nose white. Haven't decided yet.


under the lights


13 years and 125,000.0 - gonna have to drive it for awhile longer.

i like the new headlights you put in, brightens the front end up alot. where did u get those from?

[LimeNine]

EBAY, sorry I don't recall the vendor's name, and I'm too lazy to search for it.

I'd recommend GM parts if you could afford 'em.
Quality on those lights is very low.
horizontal adjusters are crap.
injection mold work is crap.
but I got what I paid for.

When I first saw this thread title my first thought was plastic surgery

But very nice truck And I love the collection of toys in the background as well

awesome looking truck. leave the nose just like that, it's perfect. i'm gonna show this to my girlfriend, might be the followup for her '93 explorer...
come to think of it, maybe i shouldn't show her this thread!

Very nice, the chevy front end looks 10x better than the GMC one you had on it.
