Sorry, I didn't mean it quite that way, I would just never live somewhere that I would need to worry about my truck being jacked any more than the next guy. I mean, there's always that possibility, but if it's enough to modify my truck to be more low-key to deter thieves, I might rethink my location.

However, I completely understand the situation with your job location. I have been there before myself.

You nay want to investigate GMT900 RCSB 5-speeds; you may find somebody willing to swap for your good condition, low-mileage truck so you don't have to tear down such a good-looking machine. Just a thought.

I hope I didn't insult you too much.

I also understand your need to remove the spoiler, I would be in the same boat myself. I don't quite understand the need for a bumper on a truck that low though; what do you need it for?

That's a damn good looking truck. Sucks to be tearing it apart, but ultimately it is still a truck. I would definitely be interested in that rollpan and brakes... but I know I have to wait in line

PS- That interior is gorgeous.

FYI, i put a hide-a-hitch on and kept the rollpan. i pull a 23 ft boat and 24 ft closed car trailer with it. its a direct fit just have to remove the exhaust bushing and get a hitch exstender. ill post some pix and i removed the decals which attracts more attention. if u want to sell the back brakes set-up im interested.
