just for fun.. Build your own truck!

if money or wife doesn't have a limit on what you could do, what would your perfect truck be? Mine would be a 03 or newer body, four door with the interior of a chevy for leather seats, gauge cluster would be dodge, and a p-pumped 6.7 emmisions free of corse with big sticks and twins

I'm digging your choice of truck. I've got a 79 2wd that will be getting the 12v treatment. Still up in the air about the tranny though.

I'd want a '93 W350 crew cab with a club cab grafted on, longbed, dually rear, with a 6-speed stick, P-pumped engine, miter-cut flat-black twin stacks with flamethrower kits. 4" lift and 35's. As a paintjob, I'd like Realtree Hardwoods HD with a satin finish, 19.5" rims painted to match. Tan carpet and mats, tan dash and door trim, Realtree Hardwoods HD doorpanels, upholstery and headliner. And chrome valvestem caps for that extra "pop".

I got an other one. How about a 12v motor (1000hp range) and frame with a one off custom body that looks like a old school Peterbuilt day runner but in the size of a normal truck with big bull haulers, lots and lots of Crome and lights, will run the bigger semi rims to add to the look, the bed will be a custom made bed of corse to match and flow with the cab, wood lined bed, painted black with purple goust flames, the inside will have the same look with lots of round face gauges, air ride chair, leather threw out, little purple led lights put in all the right places, and of corse can't forget the large loud air horn. I am sure I forgot something but you get the idea.
