My friend built this truck in 87 and used it to haul snow machines to main when his riding friend died he parked the truck in the garage and their it sat. Well he is putting it on the road and pulled her out. He calls the truck the black Mariah.

 

Nice. That thing oughta pull anything except enough gas to drive 300 miles.

 

Very sharp truck! Are those 3 seperate shifters I see? Tranny, transfer case, and........

 

He installed 3 fuel tanks one big one in the truck bed for a total of 120 gallons. And he used to run a mix of highest and cam2. He would go to main from CT and back on one tank. Pulling a trailer with 6 or 8 sleds. And 3 or 4 guys 2 sleds each plus would carry all kinds of spares .

 

Yes. 4 speed plus he installed a overdrive gear.

 

Ahh ok. I'd say that made a pretty big improvement on gas mileage. Very nice truck

 

He just had the carb cleaned and rebuilt and pulled it out . I am hoping to go for a ride in it.

 

Sweet truck!

 

Very cool truck, good to see he is putting it back on the road! Good to see it was stored inside and not left to the elements.

Thanks for posting, that one is pretty unique!

 

I want it.

 

Yup. I want it too.

 

That truck is awesome, it's a beast. I'm not that big on duelly's but I'd be beyond proud to have that in my driveway!!

 

It is cool to see the actual version of what I would like to eventually turn my truck into. Gear splitter, 4wd, dually. VERY cool

Thanks for posting

 

Also 8ft bed . He added on to the frame 16 inches !

 

Nice truck
