Just curious if someone bought this body what would it take to put it on a rolling chassis


I.E. brake lines, any steering changes

Well depends on how far you want to go with it but the obvious would be a complete chassis
bag it put an engine and tranny in it if u use a ranger chassis you could drop the body mounts 1" and it lays
out at 47 1/2"s to the roof. As for brake lines fuel lines and steering rerouting is a definite. You could use a 98 and ranger chassis and have the newer control arm suspension which will allow more room to put an engine in it and retain a stock hood. The firewall was cut out but everything was located to the stock position. I had it on a custom built chassis with a Toyota front clip tubular upper and lower control arms with and independant
rear end with a cantilever rear setup. I had a 91 mustang 302 in it with a 5 spd. Is there anything else you are curious about?

i guess you aren't looking for opinions anymore, but i'm not usually one to follow the rules.

i don't think your asking price is too high. given the work thats been done(assuming its quality stuff), you get the work, and a cab/bed. that's not outta the park high. now - would i pay that much for it? no, but i've got my reasons like everyone has their own. i know what it takes to do that work, i know how much time it takes, and i understand labor rate. i think thats the problem that isn't understood by most of the people that chimed in and said "its too expensive" or "good luck" or "my economy hurts"
there are plenty of people in plenty of places that aren't hurting. i for instance have only come up during this "recession" all my favorite restaurants and the malls are WAY less busy. i am still broke in the first place, so who gives a shit. i still live paycheck to paycheck.

and BTW just because you had a truck in minitruckin don't mean shit. i've seen PLENTY of magazine worthy vehicles, and i wouldn't wipe my ass with em. a lot of them are just a pretty painjob and nice wheels. the crapsmanship underneath is FAR below the scrubline, i learned several years ago not to hold magazine trucks to any certain pedistal.

well, now i guess we can make our way back onto topic... i somehow landed us in left field

You say it's clean as hell. Well sure all the smooth metal in the bed and fire wall. You post that video and the factory sheetmetal is beat to hell. Any one who does enough bodywork can see through a flat paint job, and see the dents. I will give you that the chassis looked very nice, and seams very magazine worthy.
