The famous JJ! I'm casey, nice to meet you. I've been reading the ramforums for awhile now, but I've just started getting involved. I really admire your retroshop stuff.
And my dad has an 08 big horn, i'm sure he wouldn't notice if i swapped front ends while he was out of town

Is it me or does the body lines not match up between the cab and the bed?

I probably know them a little too well! Haha. But it was worth every penny. I think that would be a fun project, but I don't think the fenders and stuff would match the doors and what not would they?
