Anyone know which 09 parts can be swapped to a 3rd gen with little to no fab work? I'm hoping the rear bumper and intake manifold can be...I like the 09 tailgates too.

 

The intake may bolt up, but it has a an extra air door inside of it, I'm not sure how it works, but I know its computer controlled. What would be cool is fi the heads are swappable, they redesigned them for more flow.

 

well the 09 has VCT and VVT so your going to have to take that into account as well.

but with either one you will need basically a new top end. the bottom part of the motor shouldn't have changed much if at all.

 

well i've heard the frame is basiclly the same so u would have to do some work but u could with work put the rear suspension and the entire 09 body and interior on and make your own 09 i dont know if it would be cheaper but it would be cool maybe what till someone wrecks one then buy the truck for half and take what u need.

 

Hell I'd like to the entire suspension off an 09' and swap it to my 05'.... they can keep everything else...

 

me to since i dont tow anything and it would ride so much better lol

 

how bout somebody swap beds and bumpers and add the dual exhaust

 

the wheels are. i want to put the chrome 20s that come on the sport on my 99

 

i dont know the bed may not line up wth the cab or look weird plus the exhaust may not be loud enough and at 800 dollars better be stainless steel and for fitting under your truck it has a different suspension and hanger points
