edit: found the "kit" is basically everything youd get from a pullout. its a little on the high side for all used parts.

Personally I would not (and did not) pay Hawk's ridiculous asking price of $2200 for a "kit" with all used parts in it. It doesn't even carry a guarantee beyond working when installed. Also they claim it has everything you need, but I don't believe it does. I think you still have to get a converter if you have a cable driven speedo, or a dakota digital box if you have a digital speedo. I could be wrong on that part as I didn't confirm it with them but judging by what they did say on the phone I really doubt it has anything extra to make it work in a 3rd gen except the cross member.
You can find T56's "kits" for much cheaper (1200 to 1600). Or worse case scenario you can buy just a T56 (800 to 1200) and get the other stuff you need and still come out cheaper with a bunch of new parts instead of used parts.
