Introduction / Overview:
I sold this truck recently but I'm still very proud of the work I put into it. I bought the truck with the rear suspension done and the front mocked up for a 5" drop. After rebuilding all the straight axle stuff I wanted it lower. Instead if going with Mustang 2 I used Dodge Dakota suspension. THe trucks name is a combination of Ford Chevrolet and Dodge, all the manufacters I used to get the truck looking like the vision in my head. I had planned on leaving the truck as I bought it only upgrading the mechanicals.
