chinook

search Chinook. I have a chinook+lx450 build. In my opinion the long bed is a better option. The chinook drops about 8" in the rear and if you have a short bed Im almost certain you will have to lengthen the frame rails. Not really a big deal but I also think the wheels will be too far forward. On the lx450 I would have needed to move the axles back around 6" to keep them centered on the chinook wheel wells.

If anyone wants to do a build like this in SoCal, there is decent rig being parted in Pomona, CA at a pick-a-part lot. I saw it last weekend, NO idea of what they want for it. Post if you want name of yard.
