First off i say i'm sorry. There was no way to bring my 69.5 back from the grave. Instead i'm going to frankenstein my car and would like you alls opinions and ideas. I have rough design in my head and it'll be starting soon. I'm taking my car and mounting it on a s10 chassis and making my own little monster truck, hence the name. So here's what we have s10 chassis with a 350 motor and transmission. We are going to put a lift kit on the to accomodate the 38 inch tires. Sadly we could not find the 4x4
4x4 chassis. Big bumper from the 74 donor. Would like to run a grabber good but beggars choosers ya know. Like i said everything is still rough draft as we begin to measure to lay the body on it's new chassis. I'll try to keep up to date with photos but cut me some slack if i stress enough and give up on pics for a while.
s-10's sem like they would be alot bigger then a maverick... if i ever wanted to make one of these g-bodies a 4x4 i'd look for a s10 but for a maverick i think id hunf for something a little more compact i wonder how far off a jeep wrangler frame would be? theyre not unibody tho are they?
Actually the s10 short bed is pretty close coming in at 108.3 inches on the wheel case versus the 103 inch wheel base we hold
Why not use a Ford Escape? It is 103.1 in wheelbase and was actually sold in Europe as a Maverick! I know its uni-body compared to the full frame on the S-10 but grafting the two would be very cool! Jerryfow2
Go for it. Not sure I'm a fan of the car bodies sitting higher than normal. We have a guy around here that has a 34 ford truck that sits on a Dodge Dakota 4x4. Looks really neat. Your choice.
I just wanted to thank yall for being supportive of this concept which will soon enough be a reality. I recently got the ok to run it in the Tuff truck races around here once built so the during pictures will look good but we'll see how i turn out. If any has advice on set up or think something would look good done to it for the races please do tell. Once again thanks yall for the support
