Towing mirrors and six speed in a 98' 12v?
First off i found a 98' 12v 4x4 dually that i want to buy and they only want $7500 for it. That is the first order of business.
The only problem is i do not really care for the style of mirrors that are on the truck (old style) and i would prefer a 6 speed over the 5 speed.
If i get a six speed and the mirrors off of a 99-02 24v, will these thing bolt directly to the 12v?
BTW- This will be my first dodge.

my friend put a nv5600 behind his 97 12valve in a 1st gen body. the only thing i belive he came into a problem with was the starter. hopefully someone else will chime in. thats a good deal on the truck espessially if it is a club cab! the mirrors off of a 99-02 will work im pretty sure.

Changing to a NV5600 used to be about a $4000 conversion. Driveshafts are different lengths, clutch plate is different. Now that 5600s and their repair parts are in short supply the cost has gone up. I don't know by how much. Standard Transmission in Ft. Worth won't sell you a rebuild without a core and I wouldn't be surprised if Blumenthals has the same policy. The mirrors, on the other hand are an easy swap.
