Welcome to the site, look around, ask questions, and get some ideas, were all friendly (sort of)

[Wayno]

I am thinking about a truck cab and the rest will just happen when I see it.  Thinking about a 58 chevy rear body or something like that.... with LS motor, corvette transmission and who knows what else.  I kon't have the mechanical expertise but I do have the sillingness to attempt something I have never done before. I am curious as to what frame to use and what front end?

A lot of guys use s-10 frames I used a ranger frame and drive train at first then upgraded and modified these over the years If you use a full body car you'll need to check width and wheel base. Are you gonna use a straight axle or IFS like a mustang II Both kits are available and fairly easy to use If you can weld you could build a frame. Somebody on here was selling frames at 1 time (think it was Cornfield customs) Greybeard customs also builds stuff for hire.
