Opinions on what rolling chassis for ‘66 Ford short bed
 

I just purchased a 1966 Ford short bed truck and I’m wanting to set it up to take it to the track. I’m considering purchasing a compete chassis and I’m asking for opinions on which system. I’m not looking for a full blown track vehicle but something that carves corners and would make a great handling truck.

No Limit Engineering makes a nice chassis. Well engineered and quality fabrication. Great customer service. They recently introduced an IRS option.

I used one of their chassis on a 50 Chevy pickup.

Not to beat a dead horse here, but the crown-vic deal has worked quite well for a lot of people and is a very economical choice. A couple hundred dollars for a C-V or several thousand for a complete aftermarket chassis. There is also no limit to the info available to complete this with very few surprises.

+2 on the Crown Vic idea. I've actually tracked an '08 Crown Vic, and it worked pretty darn well, except for when it got boring (too slow, but super-easy to drive like the world's biggest momentum car). The car is very stable, comes with great brakes, and the steering in the later models is spot-on; the rear axle even has a Watt's link; cop tires take forever to start melting. A running drivetrain can put you that much further ahead when beginning the project. As a final point, there is a ton of free knowledge out there on doing the swap . . .
