Coach Frank:
Many questions follow:
I'm really impressed at how low you were able to get the 4x4 incarnation to sit. I've seen full-size truck swaps, and I hate the tires stick out ever so slightly beyond the fender. I appreciate the Jeep frame offer, but need to decline for now. I'm sitting for my state's bar exam in July, and plan to be dead broke for another year or so (which is why I'm planning now to take my overstressed brain away from studying). Please keep any comments regarding the profession to yourselves (insert that wretched smiley face here). How hard was it to make the cab mounts and attach them to the Jeep chassis? I wonder if that's easier than modifying an original Chevy chassis. The positioning of the wheels in the fenders looks just about perfect. Did you have to lengthen or shorten the chassis, or was it just good fortune? What was so strange about the Wagoneer's steering? Better or worse than what you would experience with a stock Chevy truck? Do you know what the weight rating (GVWR) of the Wagoneer is? I ask because I am intending to use this as a working truck. A one ton chassis would be ideal, but the issue or narrowing the axle presents itself. There are a lot of rotted out Wagoneers in the salty northeast, where I am. I would ideally like to find, or create via mixed components, a straight six manual transmission chassis.
Thanks for tolerating all the questions!
