I saw the truck at the all truck nationals in carlisle pa this year. I didnt see him near his truck though when I went by. I was disappointed cause I wanted to talk to him and ask him what he all had to do to get it to fit. If you think the truck looks good in pic's wait to see it in person it was by far my favorite dak I have ever saw of coarse the cummins puts it at the top of my list of favs.

well if you go with a pre 98 1/2 cummins or 12 valve there is no electronics there all mechanical units but you go to a 24 valve then you have to mess with electronics which is super time consuming
