You need to order the glove box door, glove box, and there are 4 screws that secure the glove box door and the glove box snaps in and has 1 screw on lower left side to secure. You need to take lower glove box out. The only piece I am having a hard time finding is the striker used to hold the door closed. I think it might be part of the "reinforcement beam" which is integrated into the dash. I bought a striker for the lower glove box and modified it for the upper glove box and it seems to be working. This Mopar website has been very helpful to me. http://www.moparpartsamerica.com/ and the parts are much less than the dealer. They are genuine MOPAR parts. Glove box is list $49.20 and your cost is $34.52, Door lists $160 your cost $111.30 and the striker is list $9.70 your cost $6.79 plus shipping.You can get screws at local hardware store..Good luck"

I looked at an Express and if I was in the market for a new truck, even though the price difference is some what significant, I would have to stick with the sport. Would be hard to go back to the vanilla interior. Do not get me wrong, the Express is a good looking truck and, I think, will be a good move for Ram in the long run.

If your truck has 20s you have an express. 20s are not offered on ST's. You should als have the Hemi, dual out exhaut and color matched bumpers and grill. From the outside you have to look at the mirrors, door handles, sometimes wheels, headlights or grill to tell the difference between a sport and express.

Starting in 12 Express is offered in QC and the clads can also be had as an option over the 20 silvers.
