sounds good, make your truck your own.

i know nothing of the ad trucks as i own a tf, so i'm no good to you other
than to say go for it.

my apache is heavily modified, i might add that it is probably not the cheap
way to go; time or money wise.

modifying and adapting is more work than just replacing parts...

my understanding is that the cab is the same, the frontend and doors changed,
but don't proceed on my advice.

the purists will not be happy, but thats why they have the old-chevy-trucks
yahoo group.

i've had an apache since 73, i've had my truck since the early 90s and i had a
plan that went to heck in a hurry.

When I die, i want to go asleep and peaceful, not screaming and freaking out
like everyone else in the car.
