Post by: lowc10 on August 09, 2006, 10:26:00 pm: I was looking at just fenders and a hood from there or unlimited products.
Title: Re: swap questions
Post by: roundedline on August 09, 2006, 10:28:00 pm: Unlimited Products parts are good only if you plan to drag race and not show it or not expect it to look good. Personally, I would avoid them like the plague.

Post by: roundedline on August 10, 2006, 06:07:00 pm: You need the harness from the doors to the inside of the truck. It is seperate from the rest of the harness.
