I've read that the 06+ stuff is pretty much a direct bolt on for 02-05 trucks, and ever since I've seen TheRaiderJay06's ram, I've wanted to do mine up to look kinda like that.
Only problem is that I'm poor, and LQK rarely has 06+ 1500's.
So my question is, do the 2500 and 3500 06+ body panels, lights, etc bolt onto the 1500 just the same as the 1500 06+ ones would?
Oh, and could I fit in 08 tails to my 05, or did they change the shape in that area of the bed?
Overall build I'm looking at is an entire 06+ front with a laramie bumper, SRT or Venom hood {{I'll have to buy new as there's no hope of finding one at LKQ}} with 08 tails. EDIT:: OH, and towing mirrors. Forgot to ask if they offered towing mirrors on the 1500's, or if I should look for 2500's and 3500's for those.
From there I'll do the whole de-chroming the insides of the lights{I HATE chrome with a passion}, projector-halo-LED retrofits, bottom and side reflector conversion/shave, and then the top eyelid thing. And put a light bar in the laramie bumper slot. Looking for a mean street performance truck look.
