2 Door Tahoe? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

FLDBRED · 03-24-2011, 07:10 AM

I love the look of the 2 door Tahoe,but I hear they were all made in Mexico! Is this true?

usmcchevy · 03-24-2011, 06:47 PM

I think they are all Mexico or Canada.........think. Maybe someone on here knows more.

FLDBRED · 03-24-2011, 07:28 PM

Canada wouldn't be bad! I know,I know it shouldn't make a difference, but I'm being honest and it does! Maybe I would feel better after I rebuilt the "whole" thing!

60ratrod · 03-28-2011, 11:13 PM

wait, they made the "new" body style in 2 door trim?!

No

, a 99 tahoe is still the old body style.

There was a pic I believe in truckin some years ago that showed a NBS 2 door tahoe being sold in Mexico. I know a guy that tried to have one imported with no success. I have never seen a pic other than the one in the magazine of any others though.

I did see a few years ago an american shop cut down a 4 door Tahoe and built a 2 door, that might be what you seen. I can look for the mag if you want, I think I still have it.

pamoffa · 04-01-2011, 12:31 AM

I've never seen one so I don't think they exhist.... Is this true?

60ratrod · 04-01-2011, 02:21 AM

i would love to see what a nbs tahoe looks like in 2 door trim. i love the 93-99 2 door tahoes so a nbs 2 door tahoe would be a dream to me

jbjburbs · 04-01-2011, 07:13 AM

heres a link to a 2004 2dr thy never produced and has since been scrapped...

Chevrolet Tahoe 2-Door Prototype \| Flickr - Photo...

Also, there was a guy in cali that built a 97 2dr into the 2007 SS tahoe. the signs it wasn't a read 07 were the windows. he skinned it, swapped front clips, did taillights, rear bumper, and converted it to 6 lug...o yea it laid out on 24's too... i couldn't find pics this morning..

60ratrod · 04-01-2011, 07:31 AM

well the photo from the video link wasn't too bad, just not what i was expecting. it was a little longer than i expected and the back side window has too much of a slant for my liking. but then again if these had been produced they wouldn't be so bad looking

thats just a 92-98 2 door tahoe with the 03 and new clip right???

60ratrod · 04-02-2011, 12:44 AM

yes, but the nbs prototype is a little too long and the window angle is a little funky in my opinion.

pamoffa · 04-02-2011, 12:51 AM

I've attached a link from a photo i took from the magazine, It is john bohannon from tennessee, he cut this thing down and built a gem.

Now thats a nice hoe! gm would have sold millions of those. no wonder the went bankrupt, need us to run the show. haha

67ChevyRedneck · 04-09-2011, 09:29 PM

Lots of intersting info and some cool custom jobs, but no, no GMT800 2 door Tahoes.

Pertaining to the original post, if you're interested in a GM vehicle and want to know the country of Origin (final assembly) just look at the VIN.

The FIRST digit will tell what country it is from:

1 = USA
2 = Canada (The Canadian plants are know for excellent quality and my Z71 came from there.)
3 = Mexico

I have definatly seen the skinned OBS tahoe, the one I saw in the mag definatly looked OE. From what I remember it was white Z71 with black flares and was a little muddy.
