COPO Central Office Purchase Order. and what that means is if you got the money and its available you can have it. Now if your going "muscle" I would use the big sway bars front and rear, Iron bell housing, 4 core radiator, and anything else I could get that's "heavy duty" . I'm sure it will be cool, build what you want. just keep us posted. Coop
Budget is small. I repair small engines on the side (mostly lawn mowers) to make money for my project, and its all word of mouth work so I do a job and then put the money in the bank. No money comes out of the general fund for the truck, thats why it takes me so long to do anything. Also I've been buying up parts that I will need later if they are cheap enough and then just store them away.

As for the "muscle" part, it will get sway bars front and back, and the heavy duty cooling system, I'm even thinking radio delete because chambered exhaust, and M22 gear whine should be the only thing I listen to while driving.
