You Know When You Get That Feeling...

when you drive by a car lot and one is just calling your name. i've got that feeling. i drive by this truck everyday and i see it just sitting there waiting to be driven. i wish i only had the money to buy it. i think it sure is nice.

Oh, man!! Do you know what I would give to have one of those on the side? That is a track truck/sleeper waiting to happen.

I drive past the car lots all the time, I love 'shopping' for new vehicles...

There is one that is junk down the road from me, but the guy will not come off of it. I threw 5k at him, just for poops and giggles, he told me to take a walk. The body is beat all to heck, turbo is missing, front clip is destroyed. I'd love to have that thing in my garage...

Could you ever get the standard cab with a short bed?

A standard cab short bed auto would make a great drag truck.

Well, it's easy enough to chop off the frame behind the cab and build a new shorter tube frame in its place. At the same time you could ditch the leafspring setup in favor of a triagulated 4-link or something.

You know what, someone needs to buy a std. cab C&C model with the Aisin tranny, lop off the frame behind the wheels and convert it to a 4-link, ditch all the emissions crap and build that sucker up.

I wouldn't call it ready for the track, Sarge-- it's a 6-speed!

That said, it's still one SWEET ride!
