I had thought of chopping the top a little, but my head comes awfully close to the roof as it is. With that stiff suspension, traveling down a bumpy road, my head might end up like Herman Munster's.
I know Foose did that 52 GMC Overhaulin' project, but i'd like to see what he could/would do with a big bolt.
I had also thought of just widening the fenders so I could fit in a wider front axle. I think just widening the front track (and maybe rear) would be an improvement, in both appearance and handling. It almost seems like there is enough room in the fenders as it is to widen the axle 6" or so with no tire clearance problems.
Ron, it should be possible to try out different wheel/tire combos on the computer. I've thought of trying that myself, but I've never gotten around to it. I'm no expert at this, and the program I have is an obsolete Adobe program that came free with one of my peripherals. I've run across something easier, though, but I haven't tried it yet, either. Go to 1010tires.com and try their "Custom Car Wizard". You can upload a picture of your vehicle into their program and try out any of the wheels they sell.
I probably won't end up doing any significant body mods on my truck. I would like to try to shoehorn a new Duramax diesel into the engine compartment though.
