Dream Truck?

I thought this would be fun...im not sure if it has been done but if you had an obs what would be your dream truck.....go fast mods, injectors, fuel system, big oil or cosmetics, lift, tires rims or both what ever you might want!!!

Mine would be my Neals truck lol!!

I drive it! Course it has a master plan to endure before its my dream truck.
So the list:
Engine-Stage 2's, H2E, fuel system, head studs, big oil, water injection (all built my me), The dream on list (full build, girdle, billet rods, high rev kit, fire rings, headers, billet intake, hybrids, compound turbo's of course all built by me)

Trans- full build with parts from RacerX

Exterior- new show quality paint (action4478 will do the work), 35 or 37's on 18's, small lift via 4 linked air ride, custom front and rear bumpers (design yet to be created)

Interior- little more A/V work, not much though. Recover the stock seats in black leather

That should get me close but there is always something that can be improved or modified. PMS NEVER STOPS!!

Black single cab 4 wheel drive dually with maybe a small lift to fit in some 33's or 35" BFG muds, with 6" chrome shorty haulers, ZF-6 speed rather than the 5(i like the 6 speed better) with brass syncros and billet shafts, val-air dual disc(if he ever builds the dang thing!!! LoL), black ranch hand front and rear replacement bumpers, aftermarket RIMS(not sure which style, but they gotta be SHINY), stage 3's, twins, Terminator pump, high rev kit, billet rods, girdle, fireringed, studs, tuned of course all by jody, nitrous, traction bars, a DRD sticker on the windshield, dark tint, xenon headlights, gear vendors overdrive, 4.10's, alpine cd deck with alpine 12's behind the seats, 40/20/40 split bench, headliner consisting of 4 4" alpine speakers and 4 tweeters, electric windows and what not, and of course you gotta have the ride 'er, rope 'er, powerstroke 'er sticker across the back glass. LoL

97 crew cab long bed, painted sonic blue (or whatever ford called it in 97) 6 inch lift on 35's

must be a powerstroke of course, must be a zf-6. motor must be fully built and assembled by me (pride factor) dyno must be at 975 hp 1000 ft lbs at the wheels. and all supporting engine mods to make it live. chassis will be stock with the addition of rear axle supports to prevent twisting and some heavy duty driveshafts. front axle will stay dana 50 but the rear will be a 10.5 with disc brakes. dual 7 inch mitre cut stacks with a 4 inch downpipe to 7 inch under cab. dual firestix on the bed, top it all off with a set of truck nutz dangling from the hitch

No not really all that boring. Most of us have our dream truck already but haven't finished it yet.

Then again is it ever finished.







My dream truck:
Mine.

As long as I always have the ability to keep tinkering with it and making it better. If my truck was done and I couldn't do anything else to it I would be really bored and then it wouldn't be my "DREAM" truck.
