I'll have to keep my eyes open. I wonder if that was an option or if it came stock on certain models?

Mine is stock. See a ton of them.

Oh ok great. I need to pay more attention in the junkyard apparently.

LED License Plate Lights

Upgraded the license plate lights to LED finally. Since its an older vehicle, I'm sticking with a more natural white (4100k), rather than the cool white that's popular on newer vehicles.

Parts Used: Superbrightleds WLED-NW5 in 4100k

I doubt you'll find a stock aluminum driveshaft in a 2500 with a NV4500. They did come in many 1500's but those wont fit your truck...
