the 70-80's dodge are week... they belly and the the cabs dont hold up.... most will say the 73-87 chevy is the best, 3/4 ton 4x4.. they are very strong... but have limited mobility.. i like the ford f250 (81-86) put a chevy motor and a chevy bed and they are awsome.. you can out turn any thing out there.. the frames just arnt as tough.. but you dont have to worry about binding the steering up and you can replace the frount frame rails... ive done got one more out of this truck, and its going back this year to be finished off...

yeah you have to make a CHEVORD... the ford body is fun to smash, but the chevy motor is what you have to have to smash it right lol
