Borrowing this thread idea from another forum because I really like it.

So, what is your dream square body? Be as specific/creative as you'd like. For me, all I would need is a 4x4 crew cab longbox. Probably diesel, too.

This would be my exterior inspiration, just change the color to a vibrant blue.

Low static, not sure how much of a drop would be needed to bring it down to 4" of clearance on level ground. Give it a pro touring suspension, too.

For a power plant, give it a 6.2 Denali motor with a 6 speed and a couple of rear mount turbos. Toss in a Supercharger for good measure.

The interior would be minimal, like the Custom Deluxe trucks. Rubber floors and leather wrapped, full feature, captains chairs complete with embedded speakers. No center console.

Make it fast and keep it simple.

I don't care how complicated the motor is, keep the body nice and simple. If, aside from the drop and the seats, the truck looks stock, I'd be perfectly happy. Make it faster than anything I've ever owned, I'd be thrilled. Combine the go fast wants with the KISS appearance, I'm going to have to clean *** stains out of the bed.

turbo chargers and super chargers dont work together.

Incorrect, sir.

It is a technique known as Twin Charging.

While Supercharging will give you added power on the bottom end and Turbo Charging gives you power on the top end, Twin Charging will give you all around added power.

Which works great for the little 4 bangers but its downright retarded for a v-8

A super charger on a 6.2l v8 will give you all the torque/hp you'll ever need for offroad applications especially since the super charger has no lag time. I rarely see guys crawling on rocks and goin through bush wacker trails holdin 4000 rpm on a 6.2l v8. Not to mention its just more stuff to break while your wheelin.

"Dream truck" kinda opens up the possibilities of things like "twin charging" a V8, don't it? lol

Goths dream truck: a '73-'75 or so crew cab with some kinda crazy Grave Digger-esque monster truck paint job, lots of tubing everywhere, Duramax with an auto and ALL the fixin's, well insulated interior w AC, sweet-ass stereo...I dunno, just everything that would be cool lol. Oh, almost forgot, 6X6 on 40's...selectable lockers in all three diffs.

Yeah... Not everything is about going offroading.

Some people actually like having a street rod/track truck with power to put down some numbers on the strip.
