The gallery pics are sweet! I'd personally never own one, but I think they look pretty cool!

If a guy found an old worn out 1st gen truck cheap, it would be kinda fun to put that body on it, add some horsepower, and pull his trailer around.

This link made the rounds about a year ago. I think that they're kinda cool. Not the same cookie cutter vehicle everyone else has. And I like the low flat front fenders for visability. Is it worth $12,000 to me? Umm nope!

I was thinking the same thing... get an old beat to heck 12V truck, and use it... DOT would be scratching thier head trying to figure out the GVWR on this thing.

The only thing I don't like is (looking in the photo gallery interior shots) the drivers seat sits WAY behind the side window basically making you drive with "blinders on"... I bet that thing would be very hard to see out of without constantly leaning forward. Find a way to link the two drive axles together and it would be a great show/tow vehicle. But I would have to see one in person to make a final decision on it, sonce it does look pretty small sitting beside that Ford Ranger...

if I had the money, Id do it in a heartbeat, that would look pretty good with my 50 footer and a load of cars on going down the road, but Id rather have a W-9 look a like than that, if youve ever seen the mini's youd like them, Ive seen the KW look a like on an International and it looked pretty good, and come on I go through here reading all the desriptions of everybodies trucks and found one thing very much in common, everybody wants there truck to be a little unique in one way or the other with all the mods, how unique would one of these be, Id like to have it just to hear the CB talking while I drove it down the road

I agree with everyone who thinks that it would be better to just buy a real semi, instead of making a pickup look like a truck.
