Have you seen this? Dually El Camino

I was driving on the highway today and came up on someone pulling a new fith wheel camper. It looked like someone was towing it with an older dually truck. As I got closer, I noticed the body was an old El Camino.
It was a 4x4, lifted with either 4" or 6" kit, 35's up front, dualls on the back and an Elcamino body.

I wish I had a camera.

That ain't nuthin. Located a mere 20 miles away are some of the wildest vehicles ever dreamed up by a redneck with a welder and access to several junkyards. We gots 4X4 Cadillac ElDorados, we gots dually Pintos, we gots all sorts of strange and unfathomable vehicles for use in the swamps. Come on down and watch the mud bogs one Friday night at the Bithlo Speedway.

Yeah I seen some stuff like that around here before. There was an old fellow back when I was in high school that had a shop right down the road from the school. He had a 4x4 older Rolls Royce that sat about 3-4 foot off the ground.

What got me is the guy felt comfortable towing a 5th wheel camper with it. I wouldn't pull one unless I had a F350. They can weigh upwards of 12,000 to 16,000 lbs.

A dually 'Camino would be something to see, so would a dually Pinto!! Pretty fascinating what people will do to a vehicle and actually think it looks good...have you seen paulv107 thread about the Dodge truck??

OT: CrAz3D, that sig is awesome!!

After watching that Demo Derby show on Spike I would not step foot in that Bithlo Speedway.I can hear the duelling banjos now.

Years ago, I remember seeing a Chevy Vega set up the same way. Difference was the body was in a lot worse shape.
