Well, I think that the hotchkis coils would be out of the question for the
project truck-she'd set all the way on the ground! :->!! I think that we
would have to shorten the stock shifter on that Eaton-Fuller, and I'm not
sure how we'd stuff duals UNDER the stock bedsides! I know everybody that
drove up behid us would know that we had one Hell of a chunk under the
truck! I think we could make a bedcover out of the radiator we would need,
since there'd be no room up front. We could use an ext. cab, and move the
firewall back as needed, then take out the back seat and move the interior
back accordingly. If we use a gen-III, we could use the whole center section
of the lower front valence for the air intake,and hide the turbo plumbing
behind the headlights in the wasted space in the fenders!
Man, I gotta stop thinking about this!!!

And think about it like this, people complain about the weight of the Daks
now, imagine if it did have that 700hp Cat engine 13 spd trans and dual
speed
rear end! But think of the payload it would have!

ideas about actually doing this now! lol >
