Yeah I kinda thought it was going to come down to hunting for a truck,
but I thought I'd see if anyone had anything to say that I may not have
considered. There was a DML'er who I remembered doing a V8 swap into
his Gen I, from a Gen II donor truck that he found that was in a tornado
or something - was a maroon club cab. And I could have sworn he bought
it from an isurance agency or a bone yard - - thats what got that idea
lodged in my braincase.

Thanks anyway guys!
