IF it were me I'd buy another truck. But Nelson Performance in San Antonio is the only place I would go straight to without hesitation.

yeah, that shop is just a short walk from my kitchen. Too bad they take so long to do conversions. Ordering parts and waiting for them to come in makes a long waiting time on the conversion. Thankfully Summit started carrying almost everything for the swaps.
