Why not? Very easy parking, great turning radius, light weight (for drag racing), to be different?

4x4 + regular cab + cummins = great off road rig. That should have been the PowerWagon platform!!!

A salvage yard around here is putting a cummings in a shortbed half ton. They say the frames are almost the same as the diesel frames except for some bolt holes. I don't know whether they are putting the running gear under it or not, but if they are not they probably will soon when it tears it up. They do alot of cummins wreck rebuilds so they are familier with the trucks.
