Re: Dumb ?
That said, Ti, I have a question for you: Is it possible to use the V8 body/trim
parts you mentioned on a 5000/100/200? If so, are they bolt-on or reserved for
the expert body/frame shop? I'll assume the headlights still take a 9004 (so
same wiring) and the fenders (front) and perhaps the bumpers have the same
mounts in both the 5 and 8 cylinder models, no? I already know the taillights
are interchangable. Not that I can afford V8 parts or anything, but if I ever
find one sitting in a wrecking yard owned by a generous (perhaps "reasonable" is
a better word) individual, I want to be able to sieze the opportunity. Probably
would entail changing the front fenders, bumper, grille, headlights, and
headlight surround trim at a minimum. BTW, the hood is also different, is it
not?
