Bought my first truck back

I agree the interior looks mint!! It is rare to see a 99 Yukon look that good in my neck of woods down here in the jungle.

thanks fellas. so put the truck back together a few days ago and only discover the radiator is now leaking like a siv. went and got a new one and put it in this morning lol. went for a good 60 mile drive and all is well. i think shes finally ready for some miles.

also ordered new head lights and tail lights since these are beyond salvage. while i was at it i ordered new mirrors also lol. gonna take some pics when shes all done

Nice. Getting all the jewelry now! Lol

few more updates : the headlights i ordered turned out to be garbage and wouldnt line up right. decided to go big or go home and ordered all new OEM ones. spent a little more than i wanted to but at least i know what im getting. im a big believer in doing it right the first time

also noticed the battery is garbage. slow cranks after 2 hours of the hood being open with the light on lol. going to pick up a optima red top.

also changed the 02's and did a few tests on the cats to see if they went bad. so far so good 200 miles no more engine light

alsoooo ordered a new steering while since this one is worn in areas and feels like crap

so at this point the rig is basically completely fixed and up and running. ive been putting some miles on it and everything works as it should. just a little re-cap on it so far

intake gaskets
cap / rotor
spark plugs / wires
pcv purge valve
driver / passenger valve cover pcv lines
water pump
tensioner
idler
new belt
radiator
new lower hose
all new OEM headlights
New OEM mirrors
New OEM tail lights
Climate control unit replaced
Reman radio unit
OEM 4x4 switch
OEM head light switch

not sure if i missed something lol but its been a fun past few weeks. looking for someone to reupholster the drivers seat. its a bench seat with blue leather and its impossible to find a seat cover or even a used one on ebay.

also someone asked me a little back about the plates. i have to get a letter from the dmv stating they were not used during the time of them being un registered. once i get the letter ill be able to re-use them.

The finished product :

Looks great!! Makes me wonder if my old Tahoe is still out there somewhere...

Nice work, I also wonder if my first ride is still out there somewhere.

X3. I sold an OBS 2000 Z71 (against my will, kinda) and think about it all the time. Oh where oh where could my baaaaaaby be?



Truck looks super, BTW. Nice work on the little revival.

Where did you source the OEM headlights?

Thanks guys. It feels good to have it back. I took that truck to my driving test lol parallel parked it like a pro. Lots of cool memories in that rig. I knew if I let it go it wouldn't be long till it wound up in a scrap yard.

You can Find the headlights from a few different places. If your looking for oem I found them to be the cheapest from Gmpartsdirect.com.
I could send you a list of part numbers if you need.
