Never seen anything like this LOL. Couldn't they have found a little less nicer vehicle to tear into??

Something isn't right about that truck. The act is has 37k on it, all that fab work, and it's only selling for $9,995?!?!

An they have a V8 in it.....should've done it to a crew cab PSD.

That is definitely different. I bet the turning radius is horrible! It would serve well towing your car to the track I guess with room for four.

It says: "4WD, rear" som I'm guessing they have a semi-like two-way driveshaft. But the power must suck on that. Must be like 60% static driveline loss from the flywheel to the rear wheels. Besides, no way would a FWD truck work with all the weight on the rear two axles. They would just spin

I dunno, when I first saw it, I figured those rear trailer tires were drive tires. But now that I see the 4x4 has been disconnected it has me wondering.

that could just say that bc of the vin. We know its not 4wd even though the description says it is. I couldn't see how fwd could handle that though.
