Hi what years are a direct bolt on swap ? and do the fenders need to be changed also ? what would all the parts cost new ? should i buy a parts escalade for around 1,000 then part out the rest ? thanks for any help
1999-2001, and you need the whole front clip fenders included.
If you can find a parts truck for a K then you're ahead of the game; OEM parts are way better than the chinese shit in the aftermarket kits.

Even at $1500 if it's not a pile, and the clip is good, you're winning. I haven't priced the aftermarket conversion kit in a while but it used to be more than that; it's cheaper now, but it's junk.
Pretty much you need the hood, fenders, grille, bumper reinforcement bar, bumper pad, bumper cover, bumper brackets, bumper cover brackets, tow hooks, headlights, corner lights, and a couple of little plastic brackets for the grille and of course the grille emblems (2 pcs) if you're not gonna go custom.
