Wow the size of those tires lol wonder what kind of gear ratio they got running especially on the red first gen with the stacks. It must take a lot of power to get it going anywhere lol

I think it would take some real frame reinforcement to carry any weight on a tandem first-gen. There is a grain farmer out in Ohio who does this with his chevies but he only runs brakes on one drive axle.

I think it must just be for fun, I definitely wouldn't put twice the weight on the frame. But it's pretty clever... normal tandem drive trucks have a special axle with an output on the back to feed the one behind it. It must take a lot of engineering to get that setup to work.

That red one with the stacks is a military 6x6 with a dodge cab on it, probably rockwells with 670:1 or something like that.

I can hardly afford 4 tires!

raggmann

my question is WHY ?

mhuppertz

Because it's so bad, and different, and tough looking, and macho!

raggmann

if you say so......

Please tell me there is another reason. Something practical, I hope.

Ace

Because they can.

But seriously - nobody needs that much truck.

mhuppertz

That's a slippery slope of reasoning. Someone could easily say "nobody needs a 5.9l diesel in a pickup, or nobody needs more than a one room apartment to live in." That's what the communists think and enforce.

It's America, and we supersize!

If we were all the same. How much fun would that be
