Default Does D1 count?

I wonder if anyone has figured out a way to drift a full size pickup yet. I guess it wouldn't be too hard if you dropped it and stiffened it up well. That would be cool!

Okay so I still think a drift competition Sierra would be the crap!

Go on youtube and look for drifting trucks. There are a few stock Silverados on there that drift pretty well. I could do it on my 91, I bet the 99 would be easy. But to do it professionally? I'd say short box, short bed 2wd and some tweaking and you would be good as gold.

You would have to drop it as low as possible and get the weight as close to 50/50 as possible. Ive done plenty in my RX7 but that will be even better when I do my LS1 swap.

I don't think it would have to be 50/50 do you? I mean a Mustang took nationals last year and those things are nose heavy. 240SXs are great for drift and they are light in the ***.
