On my truck, those huge wheel openings don't even have inner fenders. Air flows in and is directed right at the parachute, er.. rear bumper.

I know, common sense and all that. And yet, precious few people buy the big box stripper model. That's a shame.

'Cause the world needs more strippers.
That's what I've got. Silverado W/T model with a long bed. No whiz-bang do-dads, no power locks, power windows, etc. Smallest V8 that's available (The V6 can't tow enough for my needs) and 2wd.

I would have preferred a manual and higher gears, however manuals are virtually non-existant and I got a great deal on the truck I found.
