hello list,
even tho im 18, and just graduated, and have a grand total of $300. i had
an idea for a truck that i would someday like to build. tell me if youve
done something like this, or what yall thing of my idea.
55-59 2 ton truck cab (not COE tho, im talkin the normal cabs with truck
fenders for the big truck tires) sitting on a later model chevy topkick
chassis. this would give a big ole I-6 diesel motor (detroit? or cat?) then
put topkick 4WD under it so there would be nearly 3 feet between the top of
the front tire and the top of the front fender. put 4WD tires and rims up
front that you see on cement trucks. put a 10,000lbs. PTO winch in the front
and the back. put a big flat bed on it with a welder/generator, and tool
boxes on the sides and big full size truck saddle tanks under the bed. maybe
have the generator up by the cab and tool boxes on the side, and a air
compressor and metal stock on racks in the middle.... on the cab. id have
BIG west coast mirros, a amber light bar, cab lights, air horns, bucket
seats, A/C, power brakes and steering, 12 speed tranny (?) 2 speed transfer
case, two spead rear end. carpet, tinted windows, basically, cab-wise, it be
like a hot rodded/BIG truck. i was thinkin, a over cab/hood lumber rack too.
where it starts at the back of the cab, and ends over the front bumper.
i think this truck would cost a lot of $$$, but would be a really kick ass
truck to drive, and would scare the poop outa just about anyone else on the
road.
seriously all,. tell me what you think of my idea.
