If I were to be in the towing business, I would build me one like this.

Any comments about what the chassis would be? cut & stretched ? or what it could be? Axles used? Just curious.

cool truck. Probably stretched the frame. The custom-built tandem I know of the guy added a rear tag axle made from steel tube. Not sure about suspension. I never got a chance to look that close.

Very handy truck

Can't see if both rear axles are drivers, but being 4 wheel drive, it may be a dual tandem medium duty chassis with the '72 metal on it. That would be far less work than stretching a chassis and adding a tag axle.
