    How about a 2 ton suburban. It started as a mobile home toter. I bought a suburban body on e-bay for $92, and barrowed some front fenders from a 62 GMC fire truck. I used the left front on the right rear and vice versa. I put a 454 in it with a 540 allison 4 speed and kept the 2 speed rear end. It drives nice and totes the mail. I cut the bodies at the windsheild posts and front floor. The 2 ton firewall is different because the engine sits back farther in a 2 ton and the front end is shorter. Yes it's hard on gas, but it dwarfs a hummer. It kinda dwarfs my 1 ton rollback also.

    Nothing says success like excess.LOL
    The only thing that would make it better is if it was older.

    Here's one that I recently sold. It was a local Chevy dealership service truck for many years and then retired. Was redone with a 350 engine and used around the race track. We called it "humper".

    That's why we call it Poverty Flats.............just wide open country with nothing around here but old cars and trucks. (I wish).
     
  23. Here is my super duty pulling a friend's broken down ride home after last year's 50's....but I do have a '66 Chev extended chassis car hauler that may see some use some day.

    Thanks for building me a good truck. I've been really pleased with the Mega, and the wife even likes it.

    Here are my other 2 haulers. I like driving the old Chevy occasionally, but the 454 gets awful thirsty. I built the old International out of a U-Haul truck. The bed drops down about 6 more inches to make loading easier.
