It was a Mitsubishi in the beginning, before Isuzu became involved.

Good question? Which needs an excellent answer. A completely new frame is in order, because of the placement of the power-plant and the fact that we are going from two wheel to all wheel drive. I thick the only thing original about the truck will be the cab, bed, and front clip.
