Im getting the itch to do something different but I want opinions first. I drive past this farm every so often and see this old work truck, 1 1/2 ton type. I know a spring guy in Cali who can build my springs to slam this truck low. But would
I be better off finding a late model chassis and adapting the sheetmetal to it instead? I plan to keep those stock wheels for that old-school image, unless nobody has a disc brake upgrade for them.
Aside from that do you think the stock rearend can handle a stock early Hemi?
