I'd take the daily double.

My truck is my dream truck. I looked for a long time for a base model truck with no trim, at first I hated the red paint but have grown to live with it. It has been through 2 suspensions, and going on a third. Right now it's on jack stands with no suspension. For now I have a smallblock Chevy and a turbo 350 trans. It will have lowered spindles, and springs and an axle flip in back. I plan on running it at Maxton with the ECTA and upgrading for my skills and speeds.

Future upgrades are trailing arm rear suspension, Cadillac 500, twin turbos, and a rollcage.

If money were no object I would recreate my grandad's two trucks. The first a white 78 longbed, with the white buggy wheels, JC Whitney bench/bucket seat and sunvisor. The other a 86 longbed, in red and tan, with the diamond plate running boards and Blaupunkt tape deck. I learned to drive in the 86, and it now belongs to my grandad's close friend, he won't sell it back to me.
