hey guys I stumbled across a Dodge D600 4X4

this thing has a Diesel motor and a tiny little turbo in it. the IP pump is opposite than a Cummins . it is huge and a 4X4 . The back springs are about 2 feet used to be a Calgary wrecker . anyone ever seen one of these
Kinda thinkin of a nasty 12 v P-Pump and putting a dully box on it

Are talking about a W600 Power Wagon 4X4? What year? Pictures. I do not remember diesel being an option may be a transplant, spring options are limited depending on year and dimensions.

Cool stuff TotallyRad. You must be one hard core dodge guy to have those links. Keep the info coming.

It would one cool RV tow rig a crew cab, with 12v 5.9L. I don't know about those split ring wheels thought, but with enough $$$, they could be upgraded. A set of 22.5 would provide a nice stance.

I guess that you could even consider putting in a 8.3L

Mine was a retired military tractor wearing 10.00 x 20.00. When I needed rubber I bought new rims and changed to 11R22.5.

Not at this time but I need to take some. The truck has been sitting for years, should have parted with it long ago.
