Thanks Phil I think you proved my point.
Building an old truck to beat something like a Z06 Corvette isn't a cheap or trivial project, and straight-line acceleration may be the only performance measure where its possible without a truck load of money.
Having a good idea what you want to accomplish when modifying a vehicle is the right way to start. But one of the reasons is so you can scope the project and think through what it will take to achieve the objective.
One of the spectacular achievements of the Z06 Corvette is getting that performance package in a streetable car. Doing the same starting with an old truck is not going to be easy or cheap.
