hours of reading have brought me to your/this forum.
But there's some people on every forum that think asking for a quick simple answer is not merited and we should all search.
whereas the majority of us do not mind answering similar questions for new members or providing a link that we've known about for years.
I say I have searched quite hard and found little info related to changing a 88 front for a 96.
thanks for all the info guys.
Fortunately for me I got an answer quickly.
I am leaving to go to work and pull a part now armed with the correct info. THANKS VERY MUCH.
