MegaCab Dually at SEMA

This is not photoshopped. Its a Shortbed Dually with the MegaCab. I don't know if it's a custom stretch or what but it looks pretty sweet.


If the pic doesn't work here is the link...2nd pic down.

it looks to me like its computerized, look closely at the rear door, you can see where it opens its at the same place where it is now on the quad cabs, if it was real it would make more sense to make the door as large as the inside...

Actually, on some of the spy photos of the Megacab it looked just like that.

The doors ended where they do now, but had that extra space back there.

Looks stupid in my opinion.

That isn't computerized. It was showcased at the SEMA show. I didn't take the pic, but I know it was there.

That is the Kelderman Air ride suspension truck. I believe it is their show truck.

this is my opinion only.... i hate the look of 6 ft bed duallys!!!! the first one i ever saw on a ford i was so dusgusted... i wish DC would take a poll or somthing and see if there is enough demand for them to build a full crew cab with the 8 ft bed... im sure theres probably more demand for the 8ft than the 6ft.... what do u all think?

Gentlemen,

That is the Kelderman air ride truck that has been in existence for quite some time. It is a custom modified truck and not anything Dodge produces or will produce. It was stretched by an aftermarket outfit and is not a "Mega-Cab".

I expect the first revealing to be in January at the first round of auto shows.

that truck is an 03 i thought. maybe its not. its not a mega cab, they just extended it to be a show truck. the mega cab in 06 will have a new front end along with it. the headlights will be more like the Durango and Dakota, and the grille will be leaning back a bit

OK you guys do't get your pannies in a wad. It is an 03 dually that Kelderman Air Ride had modified. It's on the cover of the November/December issue of Truck Trend.
It has a 5-13 inch lift. The cab was lenghtened by 12" by Alton Company and they shortened the bed by that exact same 12". So just to let you know now it's a 7' bed NOT a 6' bed.
