Hood Replacement

I've been wanting to put an HD hood on my Suburban for awhile so I finally bit the bullet and got it done. Let me know what you think.

It really completes the whole look! I don't remember seeing your truck on her before , but it looks great!

Thanks, I've been here for awhile although, for reasons I can't remember, I've never posted any pics of my truck.

It looks great. I'd like to do the same on my '03 K2500 Suburban. Is that a GM hood or aftermarket?

That is a GM hood from an 02 2500HD. If you plan on doing this don't use an aftermarket hood because nothing fits better than an OEM part. I know you can buy these hoods brand new from GM for about $350.00 but I'm sure if you check around you should be able to find a used one. Here is a link. You're looking for an 01-02 2500HD Hood with option code HVY.

I've been on the lookout for a used one since I bought the Sub last month.

Yeah, you're right, I definitely wouldn't go with aftermarket body panels. Incorrect fit, inferior sheet metal, and poor corrosion resistance are almost guaranteed with most aftermarket parts.
