I like my truck and all, but if I could start completely over knowing what I know now, I sure would do things differently.

When I started on my truck, I needed the extended cab aspect for work and have always had 4wd being from NY, so at the time, it was a good fit. But with my current situation (no longer needing my truck for work purposes), I sure wish I could start over.

Number one, I like the front end of my truck (whatever body style that is) so I would buy the same body style but in 2wd and regular cab. Something cheap with a 4.3 in it. Next I'd have one of the reputable builders build an absolutely bullet-proof tranny that could take anything I could throw at it. Then I'd have TRT build a killer 6.0l or maybe something even bigger. Then of course have Allen install a front-mount turbo. I also would love to do the same setup in an older body style Chevy...maybe a mid-60's. Like I said, right now it's a dream, but it's sure kickin' around in the back of my head....

How about you guys? if given the chance to do it over, what would you do?

I think I'd keep what you have and get one of Allen's Trick performance front mount turbo kits. You could also get an FLT 2wd transmission then sell the 4wd stuff, remove the front diff and sell it. You'd have a 2wd xcab with just a little more weight but more comfort than a std cab.

Sounds kind of like what Virgil did. I think he pulled most of his 4wd stuff out.

I&#39;ve done the older body style now I&#39;m on to the newer regular cab 2wd. Some things I&#39;m doing the same and some I will do different. I did the rear mount turbo last time so this one will have the front mount. Do it&#33; Life is too short&#33; The economy needs you. Your fellow Americans need you, the next generation needs you&#33; Ok I&#39;m done.

Mean05 was a 4wd at one time? Cool.

I would have gone with a 99 with power windows, probably black, with a 4.8L. I like the body style(since the 03&#39;s werent out yet) and would rather swap a 6.0 into something with a v8 already. other than that nothing else matters cuz itll all change eventually anyways. i like my choice of a rcsb, its just there is lil stuff that wears on u like trying to find wiring harnesses that work with ur stuff.

i didnt plan on getting this deep into performance when i got my truck. i dont regret too much. i wish it was a single cab, and i wish i woulda gotten a FLT instead of another stocker but money was tight. its not too late for me to go with a livernois turbo but ill most likely go the cam/nitrous route.

I wish I would have kept my &#39;51 Chevy.

I wish I would have kept my &#39;76 Chevy.

I wish I would have kept my &#39;88 Chevy.

I wish I would have kept my &#39;99 Chevy.

Pick one of those, and put a turbo on it.

I dont have to many regrets with my truck. Sometimes i wish i would of shopped around a little more and got a VHO (got my truck in early 06 so VHOs were out). But I am happy where I am with my truck. Im just dreaming of 12&#39;s but I will get there somehow.
