No way Ford is much better!

Ok, got that out of my system, now for a REAL ANSWER.

Do you want to use a hard body or lexan? What chassis ate you starting with? You can get used Honcho bodies for decent prices. It all depends on what you want to do. I have an old Big Bear body I thought about using for a truggy, it's pretty rough so a beater look would be easy with it. Anything is possible with the right skillz and time.

Default I was thanking chevy !!

I like the siverado but I really don't want to hack it up for wheel clearance !! I am using a crawler chassis not a scaler chassis so there's gonna be a good amount of articulation !
