+1. It's neat to see guys chime in about this era of Chevy truck. I, too, think they are the sleekest and best looking trucks Chevy ever made. My dad bought a new '69 and I still remember the way that truck smelled when it was new. My uncle bought one that same year with the Custom trim level in the seafoam green with the white center panel. It was jaw-dropping gorgeous to me.

And the K-5 Blazer that year? Wow, don't even get me started. : )

I generally agree about the wheels, but if he has the chasis and drivetrain to go with the wheels and brakes (looks like c6 z-06 parts) I think they are kinda cool.

Edit: I just looked at the site the pic came from. It's got a twin turbo lq4, t-56, and c6 suspension. It would be a blast to take that truck to a track day.

Not sure how much turbo lag there would be with the turbos 8 feet away from the engine.
All that work and they couldn't plumb them under the hood?
