[QUOTE="5.56×250, post: 1683968, member: 110162"] I'm contemplating selling my 72 Camaro so I can put something more practical in the driveway. A truck, so I can take the trash off , to be exact. I sold my tundra 4x4 to my son a couple years ago because he needed a nice vehicle, but didnt have credit established yet at 18. Thinking about buying an 06-07 GMC envoy 4x4 5.3 Denali and snatching the body off . Then find a 67-72 c10 short box stepside rustbucket , cutting 2 inches out of the bed in front of the tire to even out the wheelbase at 113" , then dropping it on the envoy chassis. Whip up a twin turbo setup for the gen IV 5.3 , turbo cam, DOD delete, a set of 317 heads to drop the compression, and either do a 4l80e trans swap or find someone who can make the 4l60e live behind the TT 5.3. Steal seats, wheels, gauges, etc, etc off the envoy to integrate the 2 platforms and bam, I will have a handy 4wd rat truck with 700ish hp and modern road worthiness . Since my body has broken down , I only hunt close to home, usually in the woods here at the house, so i dont need a big 4x4 to get into the backwoods or tow toys to a huning lease. I would probably do a 3/5 drop on the truck and run a good street tire on it. Make it look like a stock 2wd c10 lowered , but with alot of surprises for those that take a closer look :D [/QUOTE]
