Yukon Escalade converion

[indian mark]

Hey guys, Mark here. Crashed my 2000 Yukon (bummer) and thought it'd be cool to put a 2003 Escalade front clip on it. Got the clip but not sure how to wire the HID lites. Any advice?? Anyone done it? I'm also looking for the body moldings if anyone has them. Thanks for the help in advance, Mark p.s. I'd be glad to part with the Yukon body moldings if anyone needs them.

alot of work in that conversion from what i understand... im sure somebody will chime in with the complete list of parts and trims needed... i know the front end is a complete swap including fenders, hood, bumper grille lights supports etc... good luck keep us up with pics

my only concern about this is the rear body lines not matching the front body lines. Good luck and def post pics of the progress.

Thanks guys. I'll post some pics as I get going on this project. I just talked to someone that did this exact same thing. He eased my mind on the HID lite situation, but the fender work is extensive unless I change all the body moldings to Caddy. (which I don't seem to be able to find).

just an fyi... the esky esv 1/4's are stamped steel with the molding look, it's not a stick on piece. Not sure if the shorties are the same deal.

I'll post some before, during and after photos of this thing> should be painted and back together by the weekend.
Was a 2000 Yukon with a billet grill and escalade wheels.
Putting the Escalade clip on it.

Not sure I did the photo thing right. Hmmm...

shorties are all stick-on. i have a tail gate off a 03 (no glass) and a bumper cover and tail lights and the rear vents. i know you said front-end conversion, but if you decide to do everthing i have some stuff.

Slocaddy, you've got a pm.

Got it basically done. going to a buddies shop to wire up the HIDs, but we know how to do it. I'll post a couple pics of the barn doors with the moldings when I get a minute. That was a project.
Removed all the emblems except the SLT one, I'll get to that Sat. Thinking about putting a Caddy emblem on the right rear door, but I kinda like it with none except the grill. Suggestions, opinions?

back side. I'll take some better ones.

Thanks. I'm pretty happy with the current version. It's actually a ten year old Yukon with almost 200K on it. Hate to get to carried away. (if I haven't already)

I have mixed feelings... but I will give it up for the craftmanship! Great work!

Maybe if it was dropped it would look better? Idk. But again, great work!

nice conversion!!!!

Thanks guys. Escalade lites wont work with the barn doors, but I do want to change the Yukon lites.

This thing is an everyday 4x4 truck. (Hence the AT tires). Used year round, sometimes hauling a heavy trailer. We can get quite a bit of snow in central Michigan, so lowering really isn't an option.

Thanks for the compliments. My friend Al did all the work. He fanatical about details.
