I just googled it...admittedly, I am stupid and see that it's a pretty cool deal as a sleeper, especially if switching off drivers on a long ride somewhere.

In Nebraska growing up, they had small ones like that, had a sink and one burner and a bed,,,, called em KidNappers I think, an old rancher friend of ours had one,,, coolest doggone thing I thought,,, got somewhere out of the weather, you can grub and sleep if you get caught in a storm out doin fences and such,,, it actually had a rear door and was a tad bigger I think.

i was thinking on modifying this one to be like that, a walk in back, that would be nice, hard to extend it longer without making it look bad tho i bet.

<hr style="color: rgb(209, 209, 225); background-color: rgb(209, 209, 225);" size="1"> <!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message --> Hello all, just a quick question. Does anyone have a rough guess on the weight of a 78' F250 4x4 crew cab?
Im moving and need to get the vehicle moved over a few states. From the small amount of research I've done it will not work on any of the Penski/uhaul type dow dollies/trailers because of it's weight. I believe it's about 5-6000 lbs. but not sure. My next step is trying to locate a weigh station in town to get it done.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Four door broncos are useful? Heh, not as a truck they are not! Cool yes (coming from somebody who owns one) Useful, NO. I have an old pickup bed trailer that gets used far more than I care to admit because the Bronco just doesn't fit the bill as a truck.

thats kinda what i was getting at. USEFUL to haul a bunch of people not USEFUL to haul stuff , same goes for a 3ft. truck bed imagine all the stuff that you haul that would not fit into a 3ft bed plus no back hatch to open to put stuff up into the inside of the vehicle

I'm more of a long bed fan, but if priority is to haul people (and you can fit the stuff you need in the cab portions, all the better) then go for it. There is a definate cool factor of the crew cab with extended cab added on.
OK, b-uno, I am catching a glimpse of the seats in your rig and they look pretty good. What you got in there?

The rarity makes it cool, but it would be cooler to see that, a normal bed, and rear steering so you can actually park it someplace.

they are them racing imported seats from the autoparts store schucks. kinda skinny butt section, its like they hug you.. probably would feel better for a less fat guy.. not to bad tho, you get the head support if rear ended of the high back.
ya i could hal 5-6" things easily with a 3" bed and tailgate. probably even shorten a topper to put on it. if i wanted to run without the extend cab topper thing.
