    Ford's Ranchero was based off many different vehicles over the years too, some unibody and some body on frame.

    Bag in coil along with Hurst Hijackers would be my 1st guess.

    A burnt up transmission would by my 2nd :D

    So lay out your terms, then make exceptions to suit your choices.

    Got it.

    I see a strong future in politics for you!

    Although the cabin is not independent of the bed, it's still designed to carry cargo so my vote is yes. I had a buddy in HS with a 71', I think, that had the 454 ci and that thing was scary fast.

    A truck or lorry is a motor vehicle designed to transport cargo, carry specialized payloads, or perform other utilitarian work. Trucks vary greatly in size, power, and configuration, but the vast majority feature body-on-frame construction, with a cabin that is independent of the payload portion of the vehicle.Wikipedia
