Help! 97 Tahoe & 2000 Limited?

[BOW THAI GUY]

I have a '97 Tahoe LT, mine was missing the cargo cover thingy
A freind noticed, and said I could have the one that came out of his 2000 limited, Went to install it and it's seems like it's too narrow!
is there a palstic clip on end piece that makes up the gap or does the 2000 limited have different rear interior panels? GM has a tendancy to keep things the same or at least they used to

Any input appreciated ...............................Don

:think: I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. That's weird. :think:

Its because the panels on the side are different. The newer models stick out farther than the olders ones.

In 2000 you could get 2 versions of the Tahoe that were still the old bodystyle; the Tahoe Limited (2wd) and the Tahoe Z71 (4wd). So the Tahoe Limited he's talking about IS the older bodystyle just like his '97.

I agree but the panels come out more past the opening. They have a ledge at the top of them instead of the slope and there are 3 or 4 vent cut outs at the rear of the panels. I think this is right or I could just be smokin crack. I look for a pic to show you. I believe the blue tahoe in truckin or sport truck a few months back had it. The all blue tahoe with a denali front end and ugly 20 inch Arelli's

Rear Air Conditioning. It's installed the passenger-side rear quarter panel well and the ductwork goes to the ceiling through an enlarged C-pillar facade.

Your '97 does not have it. Most 98, all 99 and all 2000 4-Door OBS Tahoes and Yukons have rear air.

The click of death visited me right after i posted this? hard drive went bye bye, so i'm just now up and running again.

BTW you guys are right, the 2000 limited had rear air, So I've got a package concealer panel for a 2000 with rear air. I was kinda bummed when I noticed mine had no rear air But WTF no one ever rides back there anyway ! thanks........... Don

So did the 2 door Tahoe's (97-99) with the spare in the rear cargo area even have a pull out cargo cover? If yes what did it look like? Got pics?
