    my local yards have NO taco's to speak of last time I checked, other than a 2oo9 that was probably rolled

    edit: I checked and they have 2 from last month

    ok i called them and they said
    no pics, gotta drive 50 miles and then pay $2 to get into the yard whether I find what I'm looking for or not
    thats harsh!
    maybe somebody on TW is located nearer to there and willing but its unlikely, my state only has 3 or 4 that check in here regularly
    worth a shot though

    Just put a tank through the truck with them on and it was around 300 miles to a tank so not much different than it was.

    Most importantly about the new meats is that my dad loves them, I dont care about anyone else's opinion about that truck except his. Guess I better be careful or he's gonna want the truck back.

    Best year because not only do they look the best, but they're the only years you could buy a regular cab v6. When i finally buy a first gen, it will absolutely be a 95-97

    we also have no passenger airbag, non-digital odometers and the pullout rectangular drink holder lol
    i would think you can drop a 3.4 into a single cab from '98 onward :confused: or is that not possible

    sorry for hijacking your build thread, emmet

    It's the simple things in life lol

    Im sure you could swap one in, but that sounds like a lot of work. Would be worth it to find a used one that came from the factory with the v6. would be very hard to find though

    lol keep up the good work :D
