But I wouldn't mind owning it. Interesting as its a 3 door, a 4th door would have finished the job off very nicely.

3 door? Not very practical if you ask me.

Pretty nice though.

Whats the deal with that bubble on top?

Reminds me to much of a "winter texan" truck.

Id like to see a 4-door conversion with the back half of a club cab with the 4 doors.
A 4-door, 8 window MEGA cab.

I could be wrong, but that frame looks like a 2.5 ton military truck, I like it, I've had thoughts of doing the same thing if I could round up the parts. The cab parts, not the 2.5 ton frame, I already have one of those laying around.

hate to burst any bubbles but ive seen about 3 of that style in florida at our mudfests there pretty cool but not to great in the mud or on the highway. i like the tires. the frame is standard bulk class 8 truck frame from the looks of it heavy as hell and really stiff, but inexpensive sometimes free. neat idea for the cab, bad to da bone w/ a longbed.

The crew cab belongs to a TDR member. He got the AC going right, and gained 5mpg when he installed the SunCoast tranny. If I had the cash, I'd take it, too. If it was a 5speed, I might look harder about getting the cash.
