This mod is pricey, but in my view this truck is now a form of hot-rod and not just some weak "duct tape and coroplast" dabbling.

Yup . . braggin' rights ain't cheap. But that GV would sell overnight on Ebay, so it ain't much of a risk.

I'm all the time reaching for mystery seventh on the occasions I get past 60 mph entering the highway.

It would be a heckuva lot of fun on one of these light duty trucks to have a 10-speed that didn't weigh as much as the engine . . perfect gear choice at every posted speed.

So, even though this thing has a motor stolen from the special ed short bus

. . we're looking forward to how it works out.
