I think with 700 hp that would be a decent goal. Short bed truck?

no but im going to convert it to a short bed scence im going to do all the suspension work and frame work might just do everything, doing big power disk brakes and mustang 2 up front with air bags and 4 link rear with bags, c notch the frame , then make a short bed, and a 514 crate motor. take all moldings off and just smoth looks really good done this with my magnum, noting on it looks so good naked....its going to be a blue and white with maybe stripes or something, but prob 18 grand to 22 in just the mechanical work like motor and trans and rearend and suspention and all the work done buy me, so i really dont care about the paint right now, because so far away, and maybe even farther, because me and the wife really want to buy our first house with this first time home buyers thing from the gov.... so it might get to sit for a wile in the garage and just tore down??? who knows though
