cheers

The 2.0 is a whole different truck. Too many parts are different to even try to make a 1.0 into a 2.0. I have seen guys just do the chassis and rear center driveline and that's a pretty good conversion but it's still not a 2.0. I have had my 2.0 since it came out and I love it. It's a night and day difference. I have a buddy that I race with that finallympicked up a used 2.0 and he can't believe that he waited this long to switch from his 1.0. A good used 2.0 usually goes for 300-350 with some upgrades. I would go for the 2.0. As for the 2.0 body on a 1.0 it has been done but it takes a little doing.
