> To me, your best bet. Get an old 2wd s-10 with a solid frame. Slap in a 350. And that’s it. No A/C. P/S depends on year. Everything is manual. 4-speed or 5-speed. Auto is by your preference. Slap a 3.73 gear and you got a 12 second truck. They drive awesome when they are dropped 3-6 inches. VERY cheap to build.

im not a huge truck fan, but your right along the lines of what i want.

some crazy 70’s falcon or camaro or whatever would be the bomb but all of those things seem to cost a fortune!
