Something to consider: If the seller has the driveshafts, why doesn't he install them? That tells me there's BIG problems somewhere. Either the shafts won't fit, or there's rear end or tranny problems, or a combination of all three. Kinda hard to test drive it in that condition.


That's a lot of money for a pig-in-a-poke.

if you wanted to make money wouldn't you install the driveshafts? sounds like gig problems. years ago i knew a guy who have a lifted truck up high like this, he said he had nothing but problems snapping driveshafts. got to be big problems with it.

The description says "double transfer case". I don't know what that means. Maybe some type of drop box like those used on sewer cleaning trucks or something.

Starter truck? Start parting it out.

Ok how bout he sell the tires to Bob Chandler and let the rest of us have at a real world truck. Body looks nice. Wonder what gears are in that thing? Have to be like a d9 dozer to make it move at a halfway decent speed.

Yeah if it doesn't snap an axle first but I gotta agree with you on the body.If you found a new home for the tires and removed enough of the lift so as not to require a pilots license it would make nice truck.

Go for it. It makes my nose bleed just looking at it. I hope either the cab is pressurized or has oxygen mask. A guy might just pass out at that altitude.

My truck currently sits on 44's and I was surprised at how well the 460 pulled them with 4.10 R/P
