I have a 04 Escalade ESV...I'll probably be getting some money soon and the truck is paid off.... So I don't know what to do between the 3..

Trade it in for a 07+ white Silverado crewcab 2wd and lower it...and throw some 26's on it...

Get a 04-08 F-150 Supercrew 2wd lowered once again on 26's

Or just keep the ESV and throw a 07+ front end on it.....Going back black to trade in....if I keep it, it's going to be some kind of burgandy color...

Truck as it sits. First picture, then it's a escalade my bodystyle with the new front end..

Dropped Nnbs crewcab would be pretty cool obviously, and unless its a power stroke diesel id have to pass on gettin the ford, but thats just personal preference. Is there any reason you wantin to trade in the esky other than something different? Cause havin a paid off truck is gunna free up cash and would let you do sum crazy shit to the truck. Is that second picture sportin the stock hood? Something about it looks a little "droopy" i guess you could say but thay seems sorta common when newer dront ends are put on older body style trucks.

Keep the truck and f*ck it out or go for the nnbs if you can get one without startin more truck payments

Nothing is wrong with the truck, I've had the truck paid off for a while but have been working on my house and investing my money into it instead of the truck...

But I'm almost done with the house, truck got keyed insurance gave me a check selling my rims.... and I'll be up more money....Plus Plus I'm saving for my truck now...

I can't afford a new escalade without having payments...

I can afford a new chevy.....with no payments...and just keep my 26's...

I can also afford a ford.....Love the ford interiors....

I'm getting 28's if I keep the ESV, I think 26's aren't that big on it.. I am sure I'll be doing the front end... No way I'll keep it with that front end.... but I love pick ups... might just do the new front end on a EXT, got offered one for my truck it's a 02....????

Their nice...But I already have a 03 Srt-10 Clone Quad minus the stock 22" rims...(not the real SRT-10)

I love the new chevy's exterior....

I also have a 05 Lincoln Ls that's my girls car...

Really love the new escalade if I could, I'd jump in an EXT or ESV....

I'm surprised at how well the 07+ front looks on the 02+ escalade. There was a post of a 07+ denali front on a 02+ denali and it was hideous. I personally think that you should custom paint your wheels black in the center with a matched green lip and green center cap. Also, due to the fact that you are considering the 07+ front, you may want to consider getting the projector headlights and custom painting the housings green to match the car. The glass on the front of the housings is clear and does not have the wavy plastic that fades. This updated my truck condsiderably and may save you from changing out the entire front and posibly lowering the resale value of the truck. Tint the tails black to remove the red and your truck will be SICK as F$%#.

If you post some more pics, I'll photoshop this onto it so you get the idea.

Finally, If that doesn't satisfy you, do the interior in black and green.

I really don't want to keep the front end period, Sold them 26's... I have a new set about the same style with paintable inserts...

I want a new front end if I'm keeping it...

I've seen a nice nbs tahoe with nnbs tahoe front end... hell I saw a expedition with a nnbs tahoe front end..lol..

I kinda like this....
