Considering Buying A Fullsize Truck So I have been tossing around this idea in the crazy mind of mine. I miss my truck, so I figured, why not have the best of both worlds? I came across this truck here, and 04 RC SB, I am currently trying to get more info from the owner. This is all that is listed, 6.0lq9 motor swap, cam, ls1 heads, ls6 oil pump and rotating assembly, z06valve springs, magnaflow exhaust. He states that it made just over 350 RWHP on the dyno. Does that seem to be accurate? Or a little low even? This motor provide a lot of potential with say an STS turbo kit on it? 
Its just a tought at this point in time. I have even been tossing around the idea of the twin turbo fullsize for sale on these forums here. Its only an idea, what do you all think?

I am afraid that my "style" is low and will always be that way. I have missed my frame dragging s-10 since the day I sold it. I love my bird, and it would be hard as hell to get rid of it, hence the reason this is only a thought. Getting a full size truck to run in the 11's sounds pretty wicked to me lol

I think it looks great all except for the ugly *** wheels. I say go for it with some better looking wheels. I love low trucks as long as they have simple paint jobs and decent wheels, also they don't need stereos that will make your ears bloody. I love them low, clean, and simple. I've been mulling around the idea of cleaning up the body on my DD 87 Nissan pickup dropping it and throwing in a blowing LS1 , but that project will have to wait till I can get a better DD and have my own place.
