eBay Motors: Ford : F-350 (item 260258618499 end time Jul-10-08 20:14:22 PDT)

 

No way it's functional.

 

There is a company that does install working tandem rear ends.
They also produce 6x6 configurations and modify the beds.

 

looks nice, i am assuming they took big rig or 2.5 ton axles to do it.

 

I did see one of those a few years ago. It was an older truck dont really know the year. It was in Chicago NW side, I should of asked him about it.
~Gage~

 

I love how they got into the specifics of the build in the auction... real good way to sell the thing.

 

Yeah it used to be USA 6X6 but last I heard they were out of business.

 

This is the company I was thinking of.

.......not sure whether I want to cry or throw up

 

Ditto...I am assuming there was a point to building that "thing"; other than showing off Canadian ingenuity.

 

That's a weird gizmo. But I'm not sure any benefits from the second axle would be realized, because the frame didn't get beefed up so the load capacity doesn't change, and since you now have two drive axles all your diffs have to be open, so you don't actually gain any traciton when you would actually need it. You couldn't lock any pair of wheels together and still be able to turn. Besides, with a through pinion axle (like a semi) you have all your power going through something that is inside the diff, not something bolted onto it and sticking 18 inches up.

And the eBay truck is lowered. Which again defeats any benefits of haivng a beefed up tow rig. Worthless.

 

Now thats what I call a polished pile of junk!!!!!!!!!

 

That really looks dumb to me. super low profile tires :sadbanana:

 

We may know of the same truck. A guy who my best bud's dad worked with built one out of a early 90's f250. It had dual axles, but SRW's When it was done, it was painted Zebra stripes.... He sold it awhile back and I see it running around every now and again, but the bed is all screwed up now and its been repainted

 

It's memorable.....but for the wrong reasons.
