He gave me a price.  I later found out that the kit that I thought would work (which what I was originally told--months ago by the company selling it- safe t cap) was designed for a silverado, and they don't know if it will work.  What is worse, is when I call... I get a receptionist... who is not technical support, and she puts me on hold to answer any question I ask...SO SAFE T CAP.. they are out.  If I get this to work with the kit from Rustbusters.. who have sent me dimensions etc..  I will be writing those guys a glowing review.. and safe t cap... will be getting a review that a company dreds.  I AM SORRY BUT SAFE T CAP.. they deserve it. I really don't want to put the welder that agreed to do this job in a position where the truck is up on a lift with the gas tank out.. and he is trying to find the right parts that will have to be shipped.  That will put him in a bad spot and tie up a lift.  I don't want that to happen.  I really don't want that to happen. I want this to go smooth.  I have other work for this guy to do, and I don't need trouble. I looked at the parts listed in this post in response to my original... its the same issue.  Will the silverado 2500 parts fit the avalanche. No one is really answering that question.</blockquote>
