Default What it would take to make my own Big Red...

I loved my chevy pickup. It drove like a dream, it handled like a champ (not a sports car, but it was tight on the off-ramps), and it was comfortable as heck! The only thing I didn't like was being shorter than the other pickups on the road.

Too bad some idiot rear-ended me and bent the frame >





I'll be back in the market for a pickup in 2ish years... I just saw today that Ford came out with a Raptor F-150, a mean looking machine. But, I'd still rather my Chevy. So, what would it take to make something like Dale Earnhardt's big red? I love the stance on it. I'd also love to retain the handling characteristics of the stock truck (A tough feat, i Know, but I hate having to go 20mph on on ramps with my lifted jeep).


Let me know any details! I know you guys mostly lower your trucks, but there are a few lifted ones here!

lower it, install some good sway bars and shocks, change wheels and tires.
