Scott Brown gets the credit for finding this interesting creation lurking on the Dallas, Georgia Craigslist listings. When viewed from certain angles, this 1999 Dodge looks like every other one ton dually the company produced in the late 1990s. The body is a little hammered and the front bumper has made a break for it at some point, but otherwise it is a relatively stock looking truck. Things go right to the sublime redline when you see it from the side, though. Why? The owner has modified the truck’s frame and bed by adding an additional five feet of length to both! We’re trying to figure out why he did that, but we suspect it was done to aid in pulling some big goose neck trailers or something of that nature. We don’t think it was simply an exercise in “just seeing what it would look like.”
The truck is otherwise pretty much stock. The seller claims that the engine has been spruced up with a high performance computer chip, it has four new shocks, cold AC, and a trick vent cut into the front fender as a cold air induction system to help the engine breathe easier. Both the chip and the cold air intake also lead us to believe that this truck has hauled some mondo trailers in its day. We wish the seller had included a photo or two of the driveshaft. Can you imagine what that thing looks like? It has to have one or more carrier bearings…right?
Two other downsids? Losing a turning radius contest to a cruise ship and being able to maneuver officially zero parking lots in the known universe.
So what do you think? Why did this guy modify the truck to have a 13-foot long bed?
I’m wondering if this didn’t have a rollback/flatbed body on it at one point? It must have the turning radius of a barge!
I built one like that for a freind over a decade ago, and didn’t have to strecth the frame. It was a standard cab pickup on a c/c dually chassis that was built as an RV. We put two beds together on it for a 12′ bed. I thought it was cool as hell. Great for a Jr. Dragster….
Long haul trailering (no pun intended)…looks like he turned the back part of the cab into a makeshift sleeper. I’ll bet it’s real nice.
It probably had a sleeper cab on it, with a factory length bed behind that.. they removed the sleeper to sell it maybe, and decided to fill the hole with dodge bedsides
Yeah, definitely looks like he cut the front section off a SRW bed and mounted it to the front of the dually bed. The no windows is probably because of the sleeper, just slapped the metal in there to sell it.
Considering the dual fuel doors on the driver’s side, and I’m hoping for two more on the right, it is for buying fuel at bulk rates once a year, lol.
