Drifting a truck for fun.

I was watching Top Gear UK, and the host was drifting a M1. As part of story of it, and some of the slide he was doing got me thinking.

My current plan is to do around a 6/8 on my C20, and modify for handling. With in the confines of a DD with acceptable mpg.

Since my truck is long bed would it make a big difference if it were a short bed? Or is the whole "drift" based upon suspension set up, and hp to break the tires loose.

I used to power slide a few of my muscle cars, but none were nearly as big. So I am pretty unsure how such big vehicles handle when tossed around in such a manner.

Its either the above or a light duty dually for looks, but I am afraid I will side swipe things repeatedly as I drive. None the less either build starts off much the same, and the details only really change them.
