I like that and been thinking of doing that. How hard was it and how much did it cost?

Looks a lot better, especially w/ those ugly exhaust tips gone.

ya.. that exhaust was hideous wasnt it, lol... i still havent re-did the rest of the exhaust yet.. im going to run lt headers and going to dump it out the side like the ss side mount exhaust probably next month or so.

The conversion wasnt that hard... i happen to buy a set with the harnesses and i just spliced in the wires and i off i went.. no problems.

edit: and it cost me about $100 shipped... i found a good guy to deal with, idk why he wanted to get rid of them, but if you look you'll get lucky sometimes.

Looks good, btw, where you get the tailgate handle? I've been looking for one that was just the handle and not the chrome handle/bezel kit.

thx... i agree tx silverado.

I sent you a pm, StrokerAce, about the chrome handle... I'm shaving it so if you want it, its yours, just gotta clean the backing up a bit and re-apply the 3m tape. I honestly dont remember exactly where i got it from.
