If anyone knows of a place that does custom ac fittings, let me know.
Not online, but I do know of a place here in Southern California that does amazing work... Mesa Hose in Costa Mesa, CA (949) 645-2661 ... they've done all my a/c, power steering, and AN fittings and hoses for years.

That sounds good. I am looking for a 2wd truck to donate a set of motor mounts to. I plan on offering the colorado conversion mounts for the 2-4wd trucks. I need a 2wd truck so I can mock up the mounts and build fixtures.

Ya know, I bet it gets better gas mileage than a lot of the 3.5 owners are getting. I may have to get another LS motor to do this swap (After i get the 'Vette done!)

It averaged 17.5 mpg on the drive from Florida to Minnesota. That was with a pretty heavy foot, especially when passing

Awesome! And let me know when you start making the 2wd mounts, I'd like a set.
