Re: Dually 72 on FB Marketplace

It's kinda cool but kinda dumb if you ask me. If you want to runna tonna it's time to step away from the shortbed mentality. A crew or ext cab would be a different story, still silly in my book unless it's a tow rig. It would be cool with a matching 5th wheel trailer. Just not enough truck to warrant the suspension and dual rear wheels is what I see. Building car models I did fantasy stuff like this, but what I drive has to make more sense. It sure is a cute little thing though! To each his own. It's nice but not for me

I dreamed up a short dually semi tractor-style C/30 5th wheel hauler for my business before I went with a utility body. Gangbox (crossover tool box behind can as tall as cab) like a sleeper, platform over frame in front of platter, saddle tanks, and semi-style fenders. It was a purpose-built concept.

Here are two fantasy trucks I doodled up back around 82/83. A shorter than short sport and a dually
