I really hope I can get an old pete one day. Want one to haul the cars to the shows or the race car (supposing I can get the sponsors) to the track Those custom ones look awesome.

If you read the FAQ on the LIL Pete conversion, the question is asked about the chassis:
1. Q: Will it work on a GM or a Dodge truck?
A: The answer to this question is an actual e-mail communication:
(customer) "I am very interested in building a Lil Pete. I see you are going to use the Ford running for the base. I have a GMC one ton crew cab that I would like to use for such a build. I hope that you would make an adapter kit so that I can build this on that frame. Please let me know if this will be possible."
(Lil Big Rig) "The reason for the Ford donor for this project is the layout of the frame and the relationship of the front wheel to the front of the frame. It just works best on a Ford. The Chevy and Dodge front wheel center line is too far back to give the Lil Pete that long wheel base look.

i did not read the lil pete part, only the lilrig part where they stated chevy or dodge only.
after i posted that, i looked farther, and saw the pete was based on a ford chasis. which is fine for me, cause i would rather have a 379 than a silly looking k-whopper anyway.
