Once again Grigg, you are the man.

After digesting a lot of that great info,I am leaning toward a 90s Chevy 3500 chassis and swapping out the rear for a 10 lugger.I'm not really clear on what 22.5 wheels I would be looking for if I do.

While I have everything stripped down,I probably will modify the rear suspension.Especially now that I am probably going to run a rock hard semi tire.You have any thoughts in that direction? You can be brief,I'll post something in HiPo pretty soon in that regard.But remember,this is a work truck that will carry and pull a load daily.
