Your happiness with the 305 won't last long. :lol:

My ex and I are building a truck for her, we've decided on 4.56 gears and a 38-40" tire. She even made a deal on the 60 for the front to start the build. It's already in the shop. :D

I'm jealous of you guys and your girls liking trucks. My ex, that was one of the things I loved about her too. She liked trucks too. The bigger, the louder, the faster, the better. Her coworkers would make fun of her driving my biggo truck, then she gets out and its 5'3 100-105 little girl. They always said she looked like a sports cars girl and she make barf noises and say NOOOOOO. Even Cooler, I usually got a new truck every 8 month -16 months, and she'd get my current truck, then we'd sell the the last one she got. Once I did surprise her, I had her pick out my truck that time, then I let her drive it. Of course we shared like we both owned them so we switched up often between each other too, of if her's was low on gas I'd drive it and fill it up that day, and she'd drive mine. Sucks things turned out like they did, we did have some cool **** going on.

So here's what you do. Let her drive your K10 with the Wee O Five, then find you a K20 with some tougher axles and a Three Fitty or a Fo Fitty Fo !!!

easy for you to say, you don't have to build a truck on 1 tons with pink trim. :lol:

We haven't even found the truck yet, or really started looking, and she has already named in Karma...

NO thang, as long as it's all 1 color and performs well I wouldn't care about the color near as much. I'd say OK you can have Pink seats, and I get the blower, you can have pink trim, and I get the ARB Air Lockers, You can have a pink steering wheel, I get a D60 front axle. :rofl:

That's the thing, it's not my truck at all.... I'm just building it, she its bank rolling it, and helping, along with our 4 year old daughter, who is surprisingly handy. Kind of a ' family' project for the three of us. I just get to do the work. Fortunately, we're also bringing my dad in for final smoothing of the body and applying color... I hate that part. Lol

Not all pink, just pink trim. Truck will be black or gunmetal grey.

That won't be bad. Might actually be pretty cute or sweet looking. No pun intended.

The girl better not let you drive it. Around here, these country girls like trucks, and with a little pink girly looking decore, it would be a Cooter Magnet !!! I might just have to try that. Get the K1500 painted white, lift it, paint a pink stripe on it and baboom !!! Cooter magnet and the tailgate would be getting dropped quite often. Of course if I lifed it, I'd have to back up to a tree stump.
