First of all, I'll say that I don't own one of these truck - yet! So I'm not a potential customer at this time.

My thoughts for one of these trucks was along these lines. I'd like to build a "shop truck" - you know the patina look with lettering on the door, but have it be very capable in and Auto-X setting. I think it would be awesome to be able to hang with the cars! LS motor and a stick shift - I'll keep dreaming for now.

I think a chassis along the lines of your other "muscle car" chassis would have a market. How big though I'm not sure. I'm not super familiar with these trucks, but I would think that as much engine set-back as you could get would help with the weight distribution. It may be a possibility to sell a firewall that would allow for more engine setback that went along with the chassis.

I'm not sure that my "dreams" necessarily represent a market large enough for producing a chassis for these trucks. I guess it all depends on the development costs.

Keep us posted on what you decide.
