If you are short on time, look at the boneyard picks....I would do the same again, hell I dropped 30 lbs, just parting that truck? Longhorn
This is more or less the way I went. Bought an 2001 Burb that I found on CL for $1200. Kept everything I needed and then some. Sold the parts of VERY cheap to clean out my garage and brought in $1500. Made $300 and got all the goodies I needed. The Trick to CL is search EVERYTHING you can think of. You will be surprised what you will find.
