Hey Flake...........thanks for the compliment. You should be able to find a crew within your radius(Nevada, California, Utah). Plus you already have a first gen as a donor.....

I should know within a month if it was worth it!!!!!!

I met Fred a few years ago when he was starting his Ramcharger conversion; he also got me road worthy for my long drive home. Great guy.

Also responded to your pm.

I contacted Fred a little while back. He said that he bought the truck already extended. I believe he has paperwork/reciepts for the job done back in 2000. I really hope to come out to the same results. Pictures and descriptions help a bunch. Your truck looks great!
