Built my truck during my freshman year at college. Used a 37 chevy truck frame from the rear of the cab forward than z'd the frame and made the rest out of 2 x 4. Being in college I had a rough time with the money but I just kept hunting until I found the right part at a decent price. If I took the cheap way out, it wouldnt have turned out the way it did and I'm sure I wouldn't be happy than. If you have any questions just send me a pm....
