I like the idea but I don't think it was pulled off very well.

I doubt it is a kit. My guess is it is a one off so if you are interested you better get damn good at sheet metal work.

Not a one off, just saw an extend cab with the same frontend on Dallas CL, it looks better on the regular cab I think

That's it, it's a 52 not a 49.

Thanks Cory
