    Hey, man. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you're missing a headlight.

    gotta give it to the guy who does this stuff outside :) That's a lot of work! I would also know what kind of guidance you are looking for. As far as the cab question goes there are probably some small differences. I'd measure mounting points and then compare. Should be identical though.

    I don't know if they have caps to cover the front opening of the abs sensor but someone just cut a piece of metal and bolt it down while using silicon to seal it.

    As for the wiring, if you're up to the task of depinning its going to be a journey but its doable. I would just zip tie the sensor plug up and unplug the abs ecu.
