Will have all the factory holes for the 07 outlaw interior. Down the road it might get swapped for some new king ranch interior and a 08 Dash

New question for opinons. Mirrors.. should the mirror be Era correct like the two points one top window one bottom window tow mirrors or should I put new 08+power mirrors on it. If I go with the newer mirrors I will make a custom mount and will not just cover the whole wing window like you see done a lot. I personally think it's ugly as sin when people do that bit I'm sure it's a lot more functional than the old mirrors

I think those are chevy mirrors on this one I could be wrong. Just look like it's shaped different. I would mount them lower on the door than this guy did

Finally got the roof on it. Looking back I'm not sure I would ever do it again. Major pita, like I said before nothing matches and you have to do a lot of work to get the body curves right. Well unless your one of them guys that really like bondo lol. Stock crew cabs don't have ribs and I hear they pick up a lot of road noise I can not say from first hand seeing I drove the truck 10miles through town before I stripped it.

Well it will never be the fastest 6.0 but it might have the most room under the hood out of all of them
