Exactly, thank you!
Glad to see people understand the concept of thinking outside the box and doing what they like/can afford to do.
Since when are modifications only done so others can recognize them? Just because you don't see a point in something doesn't mean it's not worth it to someone who either A has the means to to whatever they wish to their truck or B doesn't see something as an upgrade.
Does adding leather seats have a gain of function or is it cosmetic only? Does adding wheels, tires, a level add gain of function or are they cosmetic? What about paint job? List goes on.
If you actually knew what you were talking about instead of just vocalizing confusion for someone wanting to mod their truck, you would know I HAVE in fact swapped my entire dash for the GMC/leather version because that's what I wanted to do and to my knowledge the first one to do so. Did I need to, absolutely not. Did I do it because I wanted to and wanted to find out what was possible to cosmetically upgrade my interior, absolutely. To the OP and my original question, we are curious just how much will actually swap over and if we have the means and desire to do so, why shouldn't we ask questions and seek knowledge to see what can all be done?
GM doesn't give a damn about selling parts to people as its not a shortage of door panels that they are facing and believe it or not, people still get into accidents with new trucks.
