Thanks Geoff,
Yes I have looked through your build before. Crazy how your truck was held hostage for 8 months WOW. I won't have to worry about that because we are doing all body and paint work.

I was thinking in 03 there was about 30HP difference, but heck, I really don't care too much about that. My thinking now is, if we can get reliable transportation with a modern drivetrain.....and looks cool too. Hopefully, keep the cost as cheap as possible too.
