Hey John The ductwork ... . for the hood, Are they the big ol' round inlets under the hood next to each battery. If so how in the name of $%#@ did you get the intercooler shroud/duct to feed the required amount of air to it? Love the die grinder it can be our friend..... especially with onboard air

Could somebody please post a parts list of what's needed for the conversion? Now I'm even more eager to do mine.

Bob:

Please send that photo to DC! Your truck looks AWESOME in two-tone like that. Maybe they'll take a hint and make the newer ones available like that.

I have to give my wife credit for the two tone idea. We ordered new Alpenlite fiver and it has the same paint scheme. When we ordered truck, the dealer had one with everything we wanted except it was the white sport. She looked at it and decided it would be cool to two tone the truck to match the trailer. I called Alpenlite, they gave me the paint code, and Dave's Auto Paint in Kirkland, WA did the work.

I showed the two tone to the dealer and he said he was going to show the pictures to DC.

Haven't been in Conn lately. Furthest east the truck has been is Ellensburg, WA!

ToolMan, John, and others with conversions. . .

I am thinking of a different front end treatment for my rig. I prefer the Sport look and would order Intense Blue if I had to do it over again.

Vaughn It all depends how you want to go 'bout it New from the dealer you are looking at 1200. 00 in parts. If you divy it up a bit from a junk yard / dealer it can be done for less than 900. 00. You will need the steel bumper itself that goes behind the Facia, brackets that go to the frame, suppoert brackets (2) one reinforcement bracket (bottom of facia to steel) Grille, Grille frame (different between standard and sport) lights (fog 2) Harness (I have the part #) paint and labor for facia. Go to D/c and look at the Fiche and have 'em price i out for giggles firsr then branch out between yards and combine the parts. my facia and grille/frame are NEW.
ZZMAN E-mail me on the bumper if ya want it
