My Grandpa put a 12 Valve in a 86 Chevy because Dodge couldn't give him the exact truck he wanted. He put the SM 465 Behind it with a Browning mechanical shift two speed underdrive behind that to a Dana 70. He extended the frame I think Nine inches to put a A bigger flatbed on. He hooked it up to our old 14X70 Trailer house to move it out of the way Three hundred yards I think but it was a Pickup that pulled it. I am also pretty sure that he kept the front spring setup exactly the same. It was a Frankenstein truck. He used parts from every Manufacturer to do his build which was his decision becasue he knew what would work the best so he at one time kept a list of all that he had done but I am pretty sure that is all gone now. The point was with the Cummins the splitter the 465 he could always keep it in the power range and flawlessly do 90-100 miles per hour. This was an absolutely amazing Truck I will try to get some more specs on it tomorrow but A real built truck engineered by an old school trucker that had every single aspect of what those of us who haul big loads would really wish to have in a tow vehicle / daily driver

An underdrive, eh.... I may just have to hang on to mine then.

Someday, if I ever quit building rigs and finally hang onto one, I want to build a sweet tow rig. Crew cab, 12v, and a flat bed large enough for a rig.

Here you go Zombie..

This one has a 5.9 Cummins

My favorite of all Dually rigs.. that still seems like a dream

That Tundra is pretty rad. I can't say I am huge on the dually conversion morman assult vehicle. Dually's seem more useful to me on a pickup or flat bed since typically the heavy loads will be distributed over the axle via gooseneck or fifth wheel hitch. Heavy bumper pull loads suck.

Now that's what I'm talking about.

Gimme that with a Dirtymax, and I could get over the "Thick black girl" dually fenders of that body style.

I think we all have the tonka truck fantasy.
