    Came in late to this one. Nice truck. I've had several of the square Chevies through the years and really like them.

    You ddn't ask, but since your son likes the Nascar thing he probably wants a truck that handles so I'll throw this out. A cheap upgrade for the skinny 1/2 ton front sway bar is to get one off of a 1 ton. It'll bolt right on and when combined with a good rear bar, does wonders for the handling. Does make it ride a little rougher, though.

    That's a great idea! The truck has 2" shorter coils and I was already thinking of trying the heavier C20 coil springs to stiffen it up anyways. I'm all over trying this one as well. In my opinion, you can't make this old truck stiff enough.

    My wish list has a No Limit 4-link and front clip package (drool)
