thanks for all the replys. keep them coming. I guess that this is not an easy straight forward swap. this is my daughters truck and I already figgured that i would have to do some plumbing which i might as well get used to since i have another daughter that is in love with the early vw bugs and my youngest likes bulletnose studes, (sounds like more plumbing in the future). I didn't figure on the plunger (or whatever its called) not to fit properly. so now i have another question. does anyone make a striaght forward replacement that everything fits properly with only line fabrication? Are the systems that go on the firewall easier? will they interfere with shifters steering and such?

thanks jerry
