Why would you want to do that? We have a better dash. The 99 cracks like crazy!

The newer ones look better tbh. The wiring is different though, isnt it?

this really depends on what you are doing with the truck. if you are doing an all out custom... then anything is possible. but if you want to do it just because it looks better, i dont think its worth the hassle.

I highly doubt the way the two dashes mount is similar in any way, not to mention the wiring will all be completely different.

Probably not worth the work, unless you're building some kind of show truck or something.
