Sold them along with nearly every other part I didn't need for the project. If you search my threads started you will find the for sale stuff back in April/May.
I think I have the headliner Bows still, (sold the cardboard headliner) the front bumper that has a very small dent, and the power brake booster/master cylinder. This board was amazing at helping recapture most of my costs on the Suburban. I am thrilled knowing my Suburban's parts will live on in other folks' projects.

Wow! You've really cut that thing up! Can't wait to see it come together. I've thought of doing the same thing myself many times.

Check the title of the build. It's a bit of a play on that hilarious Mel Brooks film; Frankenstein because of all the trucks that donated to the cause, and Young because of the drive train. I am still formulating how and what to do, but I am always a sucker for a factory engineered item over an aftermarket one.
