I'll with Jolly Green, I'd keep mine bone stock and minimal. Power-nothing and a little rough in the seat. In fact, my truck is almost exactly how I'd want to it built new, except I would prefer a manual. Why? That's simple...

BECAUSE MY WIFE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO DRIVE A STICK! :P

I'd like a C6 tranny with overdrive made to handle alot of HP and Torque, a better door panel so when you take the damn things off they don't break the tabs to easy, and NO RUST.

I would want a brand-new 1979 F100 Ranger short bed Indy Pace truck. The options that I would want on it would be:
302 V8, 4spd manual with OD, AC, PS, PB, cruise, tilt, AM/FM cassette, and sliding rear window.

I forgot to say that the dual exhaust would be split manifolds or headers into 12" glasspacks with stainless steel angle tips.
