|  Courier Question I am going to be getting the discontinued Ford Courier body and was having a hard time deciding what type of chassis to make. It will be a tube chassis. I was deciding between a flatbed with a full exo around the cab of the body like the first picture, or a full exo around the whole body (no picture) cab and the bed, or a tube chassis under the body such as the one in the second pic. What do you guys think? 1.  2.  ThanX, Krystopher |

| that is a tough decision bro. I like both that are pictured, but kind of have a hard time cutting a disco'd body. I think the uncut body would be reallly sweet with whatever tube work you do. I have a courier body also, just haven't decided what to do with it yet. good luck  |

| Thanks, I think the same about cutting a discontinued body. I think I may just go with a full exo around the whole body. ThanX, Krystopher |

| Something like rbgerrish's Courier would look great, be very custom, and not ruin the body. |

|  Here is my old courier...man do I miss that thing :-( It had a ladder frame with rock sliders, and front and rear bumpers. I added a black foot roll bar to the bed for some additional looks. I love k9popos courier, but Ryans is awesome too. I think either way will look awesome. Just keep in mind...once you cut, you can go back  I have 2 NIB bodies in the basement, some day ill build one like my old one...-Mike |

| I'm pretty sure that I am going to do a full exo to not have to cut the body and because of my driving style. I like to push things to the edge (of a possible 10 foot drop to the ground  ) so a exo would do me good.ThanX, Krystopher |
