I have been kicking this around for years to build myself a pickup truck from scratch. Using 1/8 inch plate for the cab and bed 4x6x1/4inch for the frame rails. A cummins deisel with eaton axles and transfer case and a standard transmission. Maybe 900x20 narrow tires so it would be a real off road truck with as much ground clearance as I can get. Tilt hood for easy access to the engine. Over hang on the front of the cab roof so the wipers are protected from freezing rain ect and won't freeze fast and will come from the top down. All standard bolts no frickin metric ! Not sure about brakes yet but not real sold on calippers for the darn drag. The least amount of wiring, no diods, no electronic stuff at all. Just a country boys truck crazy or not ?
