Well considering my long box crew cab measures out at almost 23 feet....I think you JUST had enough trailer to haul that one home...

i know when i drove my donor rig 250 miles home my head was ringing. now don't get me wrong i expect a pickup to be a pickup i grew up in old pickups before power steering and brakes and the sound of diesel doesn't bother me none of my three jd tractors have a cab. i was thinking of adding some ribs inbetween the roof and the ceiling out of a suburban carcass i have.

well took my other crewcab and cut it up after pulling it apart I found alot of Rust so to the scraper it goes other pic is my donor truck cab was wated so we cut that up also now just have to pull motor , trans n fuel tank an then frame goes bye bye also Now the fun Begin's putting everything back together bigger n better I just love the stuff I get to play with the truck on the trailer is the donor

Only progress is everything is torn apart just waiting on My Health to get better so I can get back at it.Sold my 518 2 wheel drive trans to afford the 4x4 one and then we just picked up a extra donor truck with new spring's n shock'sa chrome show bed bar extra set of wide wheel's and a few other goodies so more part's stached away for my build still trying to sell the small block to fund some more but I am sure it will sell just have to give it time .Only thing that Stink's is I won't have it done till closer to end of yr but that's the way thing's go I guess .
