To see a pic of the manual vs. the stocker, check out my picture site. Look in the "hardware" section. HTH
It's pretty hard to tear one of these things up. Most should be in good shape. Just rusty and dirty. Stay away from any trucks that may of been hit in the left front 'cause they may be bent out of shape. I picked out one that looked intact, however, it was real dirty. I just washed it real good and blasted it with a couple of cans of card cleener. then, I taped it off and gave it several coats of flat black paint. Pay a lot of attention to the rubber and plastic seals. make sure to get them clean and be sure to grease them the best you can. Good luck. You'll love the more simplistic engine bay set-up. let me know if you run into any problems.
