Forrest, hit up DJ, he had a set in his backyard(I know at least 3, dont know if he had the 4th)
But if you have a spare, youll be set....
 
I've already got two sets of polished alloys... I just don't like the look of the chrome clad steel. But it just dawned on me earlier today that I can pull that cladding off :)

Should pop off with a screwdriver, just work your way around it:)
Paint them black, and rock the chrome caps...

I'm slowly working on dechroming my current two trucks.
both have black grills, the '98 has a black front bumper.. eventually they'll both have black powdercoated wheels, etc.

chrome don't get ya home!
 
that is a bad ass truck i have that looks the same. but seeing that pic now im doing my rims black and cab lights for shure! did you paint the mirrors and did it come with the towing ones?
 
thanks for the compliment, I absolutely LOVED that truck... Hated to get rid of it, but it was unfortunately the thing to do at the time :(

I added the cab lights. Use the factory MOPAR kit, it's like $80... comes w/ the alignment template, etc.

the truck had the regular sport mirrors on it, it was a 98 12v, so the tow mirrors didn't exist at that time :) but I built a set of power/heated tow mirrors for it
 
where would i find the cablight kit out and does the stock wiring have a plug that you just plug into? and when you removed the badges was ther any paint faiding? gosh that is a sexy truck lol.
 
the previous owner removed the badges. there was no paint fading from that, but I, personally would have left the badges.

you can just go to the dodge dealership or hop on ebay for the cab light kit. you're supposed to tap into the fuse box, but I just chased the wire they wanted me to tap up to the overhead console and tapped it there.
 
yah i just want to remove the sport off the hood. but thanks for the cab light info.
