So, something like 118"?
The idea of a big Bronco with a passthrough is pretty appealing! 😊

The newer chassis would be nice, but I think I'd want more than a tired 302 to motivate it.
I also want way more than a tired 302, that is just what I have on hand. In my mind I would get the truck together, use the 302 until I can get something better, and then put the 302 in a go-cart for my kids.

WAY back in the 1970's we would "repurpose" two-stroke bike engines from our wrecks into shifter carts.

They were easily enough weight and horsepower to kill you, quick.

(I literally would go through a Yamaha RD 400 every month during one summer. crashed or seized)
They were $1100 tagged and out the door at Cycle Works for those of us that had race sponsorship, $1,300
retail.
