Dirty, ugly, scratched, nicked, dented, who cares, we would like to have you at the MidAtlantic meet. We could use it as "headquarters".

You should be driving over other cars. How did you get the dirt bike on the back of the truck? The truck is so tall? Did you jump the dirt bikeoff a burm? Looks awesome.

I do have an 85 caddy, I just need one other car. I am gonna drive up on the hoods at least and take some pics..

As for the dirtbike, I pick it up and stand it on the rear wheel and have my daughter hold it. I jump into the truck and pick it up by the front wheel.. My sister has some land so I usually leave it at her house and My Daughter just rides it out there

There is aroun a 1995 dually 2wd in douglas kansas like yours thats what gave me the idea.. it looks great too other than the roof.. (mine too) but the doors dont open. When I saw the parts truck had tan leather like mine I was so excited... But standing next to your truck wiht a pack of sawzall blades is a messed up feeling.. the first cut was really tough

I recently saw two trucks like yours on craigslist in my neck of the woods one was an 87-89 body style with six full sized door and a long bed man that thing was huge 4x2 I think and the other was a 90's model with the extended cab added like yours... I'll try and find the CL posts and put up the links for my and others viewing please, that is if you don't mind having them on your thread???
Edit: on second thought I'll post the pics in the gallery somewhere and put the link here, I don't want to clog up your ROTW thread with other folks truck...

ya BIG, I wouldn't have been near as nervous as you since mine was a dog turd when I got it. How she is now is 16k later. But it was a toss up for me. Either grapht a x cab to the back of mine OR...... There's a factory ford 6 full door cab you was going to buy and just strech my frame and throw it on. They came on the old rail road trucks. There's one about 1 hr from me. Haven't seen it in about a year so I hope it's still there. If so I'm gonna try and buy it and make a low and slow idi dually out of it.

Build another one

I also saw one on some california body shops web site. If you watch spike on saturday mornings there is a 6 full door brand new one. I cant afford thats kind of stuff. I make 40k a year. I built this thing for 15k. I made some money parting out the parts trucks..
