building a frame for a pull truck.

for the past couple months I have been searching for 2nd gen frames to put my 1st gen body on and no luck so I just came up with an idea and figured I would throw it out here just to give you an idea about my goals...


I will be pulling in open class just for fun mostly
filed block
mild FDS 13mm pump and a single s500 turbo
haisley 14mm girdle that ties the main caps
cam bushings
de-compressed pistons, coated, fly cut
dual air/water I/C
solid rear suspension with sqhd axle
completely gutted interior
no floors or bottom of bed besides what is required for the driver only
at the moment it will retain the 241dhd and nv4500 but down the road I plan on a dropbox reverser and all that good stuff but not anytime soon.

I will be around 1200HP

I had the idea of keeping the front end off of a wrecked dodge frame I found and from the cab back make my own rear section. not a single factory component will be retained from there on so why not? I have the equipment and know just enough to get me in trouble to get it done.

what are your thoughts on it?
