Well, I don't really plan on turning it into a street truck anytime soon,
but maybe in a couple of years :-) The reason I brought this up was because
I was watching a show on (speedvision?) this weekend about some car show.
They showed that silverado SS pickup that Chevy has and they mentioned it
was a unibody (I'm assuming that this means something like what I was
asking) oh well, I'm done truck fantasizing tonight, got a test tomorrow to
study for.
later,
Chris
