No pics just yet, all this is trapped in my head.
Originally I was all hot on my "RatstoMod" idea, and I was going to build this killer 5.9 Cummins and a ProStreet type frame with all the fancy stuff like you'd see from Art Morrison or something. I called them, and the guys scoffed at my idea, saying even the good spindles they used would be crippled under the 1000#-plus of the 'ole inline-six 5.9.
I have a 93 2500 Dodge, ext. cab, long box, 2wd, automatic, it was to be the donor for my project. Engine, Trans & Rear end, with the drive shaft coming along after being trimmed to suit whatever wheelbase I decided would fit the crew-cab short box dimensions that would come
I have since decided to utelize the frame from the 2500 to some extent, still going to strip it down to the rails and hack off any unnecessary luxuries, but will at least use the major portions aside from the rear suspension where I'll go with a trick-ish 4-bar or something.
I could use a couple Fargo trucks tho, 40's-ish, need one that'd be complete and the second cab and doors only. Glass would be great, but I'm only hopefull. I think even if the second cab was from a different body style, I think it'd be neat to have the differences grafted together. Buckshot at 30-yards in the door or fender is optional, but will be installed at a later date by my 8-year old who is commited to shoot it up for me with her 20ga.
Any thoughts on this?
