Cool project but just make sure you have it all planned out with prices before you jump heads first into something like that.

Have you seen the Mr. Hyde build thread?
I think i would do body work, and then do a cheap paint job on it, so I could drive and not worry. The chassis would be strong........... trust me. It's setback would be weight, but I have a feeling when all said and done, it would get up there. The chassis would be a LOT larger than stock. I would either make my own, or shorten a current 2500 trucks. It should tow just fine. Off roading, maybe a slight bit.
