If I take them off it will be down the road a ways. I will either put them on my brother's sierra or sell them. Would be willing to trade them for some decent 20's or a set of bogarts. haha

And yeah I remember when I met him he had only had it like a year. Haha hell if you had told me then that I would have it now I would have just laughed at you. It has a lot of memories for me so that just adds to it. Plus I live in a small town and it's a local "legend".

your pockets must run deeper than mine. i would be happy with a high 10 second truck for just a few grand.

Yeah I would love to do all that stuff. Sounds like a fast truck. I would "like" to drop in an ls7 or maybe an ls9 or maybe a twin turbo ls2 or...or...or.... but since this is going to be a dd for a while im thinking work with what I have at the moment. I am trying to decide on the transmission at the moment. If anyone knows of a real good 4l60e for sale I could maybe pay around 600-700. Its got to be able to handle 500hp with the fuddle 3400 i have.

Nah I dont have a vette for sale. Not at all what that meant.

Vettes are so nice. They dont do well in wrecks tho. haha. Everyone I see has something cracked or loose. Yeah I figured I would have to do a built or upgraded trans. Prolly a t56 or maybe ill just wait a looooong time and put in a 6spd automatic.
