I have a 1971 F-250 I intend to make into a 1971 ford/hummer or mabey a 1971 ford/hummer/cummins then again mabey a 1971 ford/hummer/VW.

Not sure yet as I have not decided what motor to put into it.

Yea, I know that it is going to be an expensive project. That is why I am figuring on at least 5 years to complete. My initial figures still put me at less than buying a new truck. And I get what I want in it not what someone else thinks I want in it.

I had seen the mini big rigs before. they are cool but has been done before. I want my '71 to be pretty much original.

Nice. Are you going to put a transfer case between the dual axles?

Not my set up, they build kits for P/U trucks.
I thought he might like something different.
The dual axle set up is usually a drag axle.
