Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: What would you do to this truck?

I must say that truck looks awesome the way it is, some people would kill for a truck that nice. Maybe throw your logo on the side and use it for a shop truck.

You laugh, there's a car here in Sacramento that has a giant Chester Cheeto graphic on the truck. Chester is holding rolls of $100's that are on fire and a big caption underneath says "Chedah ta' Burn"

Re: What would you do to this truck?

leave the body stock and drop it on coilovers and make it handle. Something different, and won't require too much of the truck to be cut up.

Re: What would you do to this truck?

Well IF that was my truck(which unfortunately it is not)I would let you do your thang to it. And then I would take it to a bunch of shows and watch all the envious people make there comments on how the truck was butchered.

Yeah, grey centered "steel look" 20's. It would be the MILD showcase of your talents. I'd have another one there to represent the WILD showcase. I'm nervous FOR this truck.

I agree, a set of C4 drop members with coil overs would be awesome

Now I love me some bags, but I think a truck that clean would be awesome with sweet handling & a sinister stance

I would roll it about 3-4 inches lower than where it is, with some 17" camaro ralleys with smooth center caps & no beauty rings
