I was gomma do heated /cooled seats but wanna save myself a few hundred an dont think that will effect the sale. As far as middle console shifter, gonna leave it like this. I guess see what it would look like without it.

So even doing this yourself, there is enough room between 26k and 32k to make money after buying all the parts?

And why wouldn't someone just buy a real one?

here is a 2010 with 43k miles for 34k.

Dealerships are buying them at 30-32k. Reselling at 34-39k.

And mine will have a 3.5" lift and 33's

I thought the same thing why not just buy the truck. I do however want to see this to the end. I think it takes skill and patients to complete a conversion like this. Please keep posting pics.

You must tell me where you get all your parts! A set of 275/60/20s (33s) is near 1000 by themselves!

But, if you can make some ching on it, best of luck!
