its a 95 single cab the swap was not really that bad the only real pain in the *** was the exhaust system(i would go with long tubes if i had to do it all over again but at the time I didn't want to drop a grand plus on some) it was very tight, although i did clearance the frame on both sides for clearance becuase my y pipe was so close and notched the frame for the deeper oil pan. I had to cut and notch the front radiator support to get my fan not to hit the EWP which still only clears by a 1/2 inch but still clears
