Your Ultimate Truck

pacodiablo · May 17, 2003

What would your dream truck be? It can be new, old, stock, modified, whatever, it does not matter.

Mine would be a 1965 Ford F-250 4x4 w/ a 460 crate motor, C6, 3 inch suspension lift, steel wheels, 31" M/T Baja Radial MTX tires, Gibson Swept Side exhaust, Line-X'd bed and interior floor, a vynil bench seat, A/C and to top it off, blue exterior paint.

My ulitmate truck would be any newer model year H1. It would be black with the full soft top. Have some big ass swampers, with the incab inflate/deflate for the tires. I would have a big *SS diesle in it, with a nice 12 rod fishing rod holder on the front, with a basket for my coolers. I guess a good stereo in it, nothing fancy but with a cd player. Oh yeah...I need a snorkle on it too, incase I get stuck on the beach at high tide.....Oh and I need a winch too. Yeah that would be sweet....

If it were a car, I would take any cadilac with a v8 northstar, so I could be straight pimpin' on the weekend.....HA

Let me think. Yes this is about as good as it gets.

For me, it'd have to be a pewter or arrival blue 2003 GMC Sierra 2500HD 4X4 Quad Cab 8.1/Allison short bed, with ALL the bells and whistles, except for leather.

...don't mean to pic nits, but wouldn't you wan't larger tires with a 3" lift? Just a thought, can't picture the truck.

pacodiablo · May 20, 2003

Good point...maybe a 1" or 2" lift and the 31s...honestly, I would like to keep the truck fully useable, so I don't want so much lift that I would need a big drop center bumper for towing and I would like to be able to put ATVs or mowers in the bed.

Here's a link to my all-time favorite!

The SPEEDY · May 21, 2003

92 or 93 GMC Typhoon. Built 4.3, PT60 turbo, a2a intercooler, NX intercooler spray kit, Ultimate chip, and all the other stuff needed to run that stuff (which is too much to list). Vette ZR1 wheels, Built tranny, alky injection.

She'd be good for high 11's!!!

And look something like this.

1 for off, 1 for on

Silverado SS Reg cab short bed with a LS6 N/A tuned to 500 HP. Then slap on a couple of turbo's, maybe a supercharger too(hey, it's possible!). 20 inch BBS wheels, lower it and inch front and back, dual magnaflows, and a nice ram air hood that with a soop that looks EXACTLY like a 97 Camaro SS hood, and is functional.

off:

2500HD 8.1L with a 7" lift, 36 inch tires, boosted to 750HP/750 TQ somehow or another custom 4.60 diff roll bars and a full assortment of off road lights. mA huge lst of suspension mods I don't want to get into will take WAY too long.

and a Trailer to tow my completed(this is a dream, right?) '87 325is to a BMW CCA track event where it wallops a field of E46 M3's

"Man after my own heart. Happy with what he has. "

I agree . . . . I own my dream truck (actually the bank does, but . . .)

After my last child turns 18 in about 4 years, I'll probably sell the Avalanche and get an extended cab 2500HD Duramax / Allison with some type of retractable bed cover, 19.5" 10-lug Alcoa wheels, and commercial truck tires. My wife wants us to get a handicap accessible trailer for weekends and I'll still drive a lot of work miles during the week.
