The truck looked very proportional, being 8' duallys look short. It was funny seeing people try to figure out how we got TWO grizzle 660 in the bed AND closed the tailgate

I've seen this done to F-Superduty trucks, pretty darn slick. Of course I'd be the one doing that, and adding another front axle (steering locked) right before the rear dually axle (heck even make it an air lift) for the one-off entirely-pointless but pretty cool setup

This is a F-350 with a six banger.

It is 700.00 on Atlanta's craigslist.

That is the "Smart Truck".

The seller said it was used at the airport for towing planes around the place.

It's an aircraft tugger, also works great for moving trailers around a yard.

Theres alot of good usable parts on that truck, but unless its really been beefed up or its in really good shape, I personally wouldnt pay 7 for it... maybe 5...
