I like some stuff on pirate but I get tired of a few of the trolls. The main ones are ironpig, Haole and Screwer. If they ever come here I say we run them off.

Cool looking project. I've wanted for a long time to put a 12 valve Cummins in a early 50's Chevy Panel Wagon as a hauler.

I got 0 use for Pirate but this might be worth looking at the link

Been thinking about a similar build for a while, always liked the old chevy trucks.

I been watching that and didn't see the outcome to be good until later in the build

Know a guy that has this same thing done just like this and it is badass the truck body comes off the chassis like a vw bug it's badass looking I'll try and get a pic and post

Here's another cool one......... 72 GMC mated with a 2003 2500HD chassis, Duramax/Allison combo.

I don't know if it's just me or what... But, I can only get about halfway down a page on pirate before trying to scroll down any further just gets to be insanely difficult. its like their server is so overloaded its almost unusable. Anyone else have this problem?

Torque tube around drive shaft. You can see the frame has been cut at each end.

Mine does that on pages with a lot of pictures. Hit refresh when it won't go down any further.

He dropped it some, but stopped where steering would be an issue. Did not want to modify the front fenders.
