    Hi all

    I need help/advice on a project ..... what components would you use to build a truck like the one in the link?

    I'm starting with a fresh frame and need help deciding on components. I'm less concerned about the interior for now. The truck has a 302 that will need to be rebuilt and probably need new trans - certainly new differential as the original equipment would be a gear monster.

    Key quesitons I'm trying to decide and get expert help .....
    • What size wheels and tires .... which rims?
    • What about suspension - what is best from salvage and what is best if buying new?
    • What about brakes?
    • Which is the best steering set-up?
    Here's a bit of history on the rig before I had to pull off and put on hold....https://thebuild.home.blog/

    Thank you for the input and advice!
