So what is the right chassis to make this rig out of... Answer: I don't know,
I haven't figured it out yet
Possible donor chassis:
 |
1973-1987 Chevy Std Cab Chassis Pros: Plentiful, I can get one with a used
700R4 nearly anywhere Cons:Didn't come with 4L80E tranny, Chassis would need to
be lengthened
|
|
1973-1987 1 Ton Crew Cab Chassis Pros: Longer than necessary so if any
wheelbase adjustment would be necessary, it would be a shorten job rather than
extend. Typically available with 1 ton running gear. Cons: Rare. Mostly duallies.
Would have to be sectioned anyway.
|
|
1988-1999 Crew Cab Chassis Pro's: IFS, 454, 4L80E, Cons: Would still need
wheelbase adjustment.
|
|
1988-1999 Std Cab Chassis Pro's IFS, 454, 4L80E, Cons: Would still need
wheelbase adjustment.
|
|
1988-1999 Extended Cab Chassis Pro's IFS, 454, 4L80E, Cons: Would still need
wheelbase adjustment.
Based on all of this above, I am leaning toward trying to find wrecked 1992
or newer3/4 or one ton 454 std cab with a 4L80E tranny, and all of the bells and
whistles (air, cruise, tilt, locks, windows, etc)
