You asked for opinions so here is mine.

I love the hotrod/ratrod scene and will build one in the future but I wanted something different for my long bed. I found the Napco stuff and you just don't see it out there that much. I like the lifted skinny tire look and my truck is really just going to be a surfboard hauler to the beach and back so I am not really worried about speed. I wouldn't mind doing some jeep trails in the local mountains and maybe out in the Az desert but obviously no pre running!!! lol !!!

It is a little more challenging to find the Napco stuff but it is out there or can be machined. I would score the Napco especially if its original (check to see if the transfer case brackets and shifter brackets are riveted to the frame which should indicate a factory install, although it would be easy I have been told to reproduce the rivets and make it look factory???).
