AD longwheel base panel, cool?

I have a chance to buy another AD panel. (need another project like a hole in the head) went and took a peak today and its a long wheelbase.
I just can't warm up to them like the short.

Not thinking any major mods would be in my, or the panels, best interest.

Pics or ideas of cool LWB panels?

Re: AD longwheel base panel, cool?

i like the lwb panels for the 'bed' space
this is mine way back when, it is a 38 1 ton and drives like a truck

it had a queen size bed in back
i lived in it during my roughneck days in wyoming and north dakota
survived a wyoming winter in that panel
also proposed to my wife in it

I like the long truck. I keep looking at them to build a rig for carrying the family.

Hmmm... Was that during the same long, cold Wyoming winter?
