Ebay tandem Dually a Must see

I dont know but to me it seems just a little photoshopped, seems odd. If it was lifted and had 34-35inch tall tires with the same setup tandem dually, then that would be pretty sick.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=31831

I don't carre for it. The rear frame definitely needs finished. I am always amused that a gooseneck ball is considered a fifth-wheel in these ads! Like stated above: Raises it to a truck height with proper truck styling, it would be better. One thing I have learned: "unique", "rare", & "one-of-a-kind" rarely translate into "valuable" or "collectible" -- many times modifications such as these are actually detrimental to the vehicle value. Pretty small market out there for slammed, tandemed, Dodge CTD trucks!

That's certainly one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. Too each their own I guess. I really like the description, "second tandem (tandum) axle." Does that mean it has two tandem axles, for a total of three rear axles? I especially like the difference between the inner and outer tires, the front rear axle. The different tires may very well have slightly different diameters, which isn't a good thing on a dualie.

LOL yeah, the guy probably had a wack idea in his head, decided to screw up a Nice Diesel ram and turned it into a truck that doesnt know what it is. Is it a half scale semi? A lowered truck? A rice rocket with those ugly rims?

Edit: I live in Union City, inbetween fremont and hayward, your about 20 miles from where I live.

Great concept, ive toyed with designing something like that before but i would like it as a 6x6 which would require some custom machining to the t-case or axle to make both rear axles drivers and then still have the front axle functional. be nice for distributing the weight a little better on a heavy gooseneck


Looks like an aborted project... bet ya they get her up to 5-7k max right now its only parts

Ther is a company in Oklahoma that does real 6X6 conversions. Do not know how good, but real none the less. USA 6X6 is the name I think, can be found on the web.

He can't even spell "Cummings"!! Or "dulie"!! With all of this guy's skill showing up in his spelling, i dont think i would touch that thing with a 10 foot pole! I mean look at that nasty half-riced engine compartment! Oh yeah, and he says "You will enjoy this vehicle like each of the owners before you". Come on man!!
And what the heck is that sticking out of the bumper? A BOV? Looks like a deer warning whistle!!!
