Well there are elements of my project that I keep changing my mind about. One of those is the number of doors, another is the wheelbase.

I have two frames I'm considering using. One has wheelbase of 155 inches the other is about 165. The shorter is a 1-ton four wheel drive, the longer a 1-ton dually. I change my mind frequently which I'll use.

That decision is tied to the decision on doors too. The longer the frame, the more I need to stretch the body, and the more likely adding doors makes sense.

Another choice I have yet to make is what power plant. I have both a Cadillac 500 and a Chevy 454 on hand and could use either. While I tend to prefer gasoline over Diesel, current fuel prices have me wondering if I should consider a motor I don't currently own.

The only pictures I have are of the parts trucks, and they aren't collected and posted anywhere. This is a long term project and really I'm still collecting parts more then anything else on this one.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...
