if it is something you are going to build custom i would recommend finding one private sale via craigslist or something. a used lq4/lq9 would run about 1100 plus most yards are going to get a core as well. our core charge on one of these is $350. I do have one in NY with about 90k on it out of 03 escalade(lq9) if you were interested.

You can also try www.copart.com and buy an auction vehicle, this way you get everything and then you can sell the truck for scrap and make most of your money back.
