Wrong section? I thought that this was a section for appearance. That's what i.m tryin to change. Yeah i've looked in the magazinesand I can find the real body parts in canada for alot cheaper than over the boarder. I know the kits are done so that it'll fit but what i'm trying to find out is if the real parts will fit.

I know but the emphasis was put on this being "LS1TECH" and wanted to point out that the trucks have a motor from the LSx design.

Well after numerous calls to body shops and auto wreckers I finally gave GM a call. He looked up both parts from either vehicle and crossed them on the comp. Direct bolt on.

Gm saves money buy using all the same frames... I converted my 95 formula to an 02 T/A direct bolt on.

hell I could have converted the front to a camaro and left the rear a t/a... Weird.....
