Re: truck accessories question

For now its easier to use the matching car parts, although there is some parts that allow the use of tpi parts with ls swaps. and even cheeper and better, easier to get ps pump thanls fbody. i designed them especifically around 3rd gens, but work with any other swap.
would u believe u can use a mech fan with ls swap now?
