|  Dodge mega cab prerunner/chase truck
I have always been into the prerunner style trucks and have a proline mega cab body and some steel rod sitting here! Cant figure out how to mount the spare tires, which way should I go with?    |

Nice choice on the color  .I like the look of the first picture, but the last picture would let you make a tube bed if you wanted to go that route. I am looking forward to seeing the progress on this. I have one that I am slowly working also. |

I will be following this build. I drive a 1:1 Dodge almost that exact color and have been contemplating building a scaler version.

Id go with side by side if your going for realizim, I think laying flat would be more "mall cruiserish" but thats just my 2 cents.

What did you use for the tube work? I am thinking of doing the same thing for mine. But I want to keep the weight down.
