    IF I could do ANYTHING I wanted truck wise, this is what I would do/get and the approximate realistic cost (to the best of my knowledge - let me know if I&#39;m off on anything - I don&#39;t have much experience with swaps, etc.):


    1972 Chevy Fleetside C10. Available on ebay for &#036;5-&#036;10,000 depending on condition.

    NEW 6.0l Chevy crate engine for &#036;3,000

    Magna Supercharger for &#036;4000

    Level 4 Tranny for &#036;2,000

    Detroit True-Trac rearend for &#036;500

    Labor for removal/install/motor mount/drive-shaft fabrication: approximately. &#036;3000

    Total cost for an 11-second bada&#036;&#036; dream-truck truck that will stomp virtually any Corvette, truck, ricer, motorcycle, Mustang, Camaro, etc. on the road with 0 miles on engine and drivetrain: &#036;22,500.

    Extra for unforeseen expenses (THAT never happens does it...): &#036;2,500

    Does that include headers/exhaust, trans coolers, efans, silcks, meth injection, tune, and of course ?&#33; Other than these things, you should have it covered......until you decide you want a 10 sec truck&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

    2004 Silverado Crew Cab, forged iron 5.7, STS w/MP turbo, 10+ psi, FMIC, Tial 50mm BOV, Vic Jr, Snow performance meth, MTI Stealth cam .220/.220 .581/.581 115lsa, Comp chromoly pushrods, Yank TT3000 stall, LS1 Efans, 160 tstat, Trucool 40k trans cooler, 60# injectors, Walbro fuel pump, Patriot springs, Built 4l65E w/billet input & output shafts, Eaton posi, SD tuned...all installed by Klein North Automotive
