Well drive shaft should be in tomorrow. And then be ready to go fur tuning Wednesday

 

[James Pate]

Got the drive shaft last night, was five inches to short. Dropped it off at 8 this morning to get lengthen and got it back and fits perfectly. Going to get tuning in a little bit. I can't wait.

How hard was it to do that grill swap? Did you have to swap lights? any drilling?

 

[Dakota]

Just have to swap grille, hood and upper cap iirc
No drilling everything bolts right up

Only need hood and grille, everything uses same mounting holes. headlights and bumper/cap are all the same

This, couldn't remember if the upper cap was slightly different or not

 

[BOO5TED]

Only from HD to 1500, not from year to year. 03+ all the HD caps were the same, also the 03+ 1500 were all the same.
