Those tires are huge!!

I think you need more lift or smaller tires lol

It does look like a big rig though.

Great Looking Truck !
How much does it cost you to get those adapters and then the wheels and tires... Compared to taking a REAL Truck suspension and just mounting the cab on it For example a C-60 or Gmc 6000 compated to cost of what you have now?
Dont get me wrong.. I love the look of your truck. Then again, I do not know if I could handle the ride of a c-60 with no load.
How much do the Adapters Wheels and Tires cost?

It was a suburban body in a semi chassis with a cummins. The stripes matched mis race trailer.


Used to have. Normal looking bed on it, but looks like someone cut it down

Does anyone have pictures of this as Built. I just have a hard time thinking that it is a Semi Frame. Compared to a c-60 frame and grafted suburban and bed on it.
Seems like less work. I had a Big Truck and Man it is a Lot of work to get that Engine into that Compartment, Unless you just use a 60 to start with

Agreed that is pretty nice. That is about what lift and tire size I think I would like as well.

Re: How about some pics of 73-91 crew cabs
 
thanks guys, it took alot of looking to find one in decent shape to do what i want with it and this had a good majority of the work done, i am pretty happy to have it. the tires are 315/75r16 toyo open country mt's. the suspension is a 4in all spring not sure of the brand. it already had the lift i added the wheels and tires.

I just saw this beast sitting near Dallas Raceway in Crandall, TX. It's still for sale. Wish I hadn't been in a hurry and could have gotten a closer look at it!

New to the forum, just picked this up over here in the UK. When I saw it for sale I found this thread while searching for some more info on the model and 171 pages later I was inspired enough to buy it. She's a bit rough round the edges but all adds to the character!
