Yoiu ever drive a solid axle truck from one ocean to another? Plus the leaf springs on the full size GM's play havok with your approach angle, just have a look at Colorado K5, a coil spring swap is becoming a more popular conversion.

10K for a new body on the tow rig? Did you see the body we started with? If you could walk out of the truck without opening the door would you not want to get a body job? That body rocks!!!! It sets in the warehouse beside a Hemi Cuda and more people ask about it than the Muscle Car.

I guess i come from different ways of doing things.  I just can't see spending 10 grand on a body that is going get wheeled anyway.  I didn't see the body before it was torn apart so i guess i can't really say anything.  I try and do stuff cheap because i am a poor college student (like most).  that is why i can't see putting that much money into a tow rig that has the potential to get beaten up.  I do look forward to seeing the f-toy build though.  and i do agree that Jessie is smoken!
