If you’re looking to replace parts on your Chevrolet Tahoe, you may be wondering if it’s possible to use a hood from a Silverado. The good news is that yes, some Silverado hoods will fit your Tahoe.

It’s vital to make sure you’re getting the right model hood before you buy.
Before you make your purchase, it’s important to know what features to look for in a hood and how to measure your hood. You can do this by measuring the Tahoe.
- Measure the height of the Tahoe. This is sometimes called “drop” or “stance,” and it measures from ground level to where your head would be while sitting down in the driver’s seat with both feet on the floorboard.
- Measure width at widest point between wheel wells (track). The measurement will be taken from left-to-right for a passenger car, or front-to-back for an SUV or pickup truck.
- Note whether you have air conditioning installed because this could affect where certain components are located inside your interior cabin area (for example: heater core/radiator).
Not all Silverado hoods will fit on a Tahoe.
Not all Silverado hoods will fit a Tahoe. There are several different hood styles available, and some of them will fit your Tahoe while others won’t. The 2007 and newer Silverado classic models will fit, but only the 2009 and older new-body style models. If you have a 2007 or newer body style vehicle with a rounded front end, then it’s likely that you have one of the two mentioned above and this article doesn’t apply to your truck at all!
Conclusion
As you can see, there are quite a few things you have to consider before ordering your next hood. Of course, the best way to make sure everything is right is to find a friendly expert who has dealt with this sort of thing before.
