Thank's, my dad and I have also been talking about a parade/show truck for the business so this would serve both purposes. Plus we can move our own equipment around with out hiring a heavy hauler or wrecker service to do it.

Plus it'll irk a couple of my neighbors or at least the ones that I enjoy annoying because it's fun to watch them huff, puff, and stomp around.

I think I may have just found the starting point for Project Big Rig. It will need an in frame before she'll roll down the road on her own plus the fenders and bumper that are on it are worth around $7000-$9000 that I won't have to spend later. That money can go towards the in frame and new paint.

I thought about doing a conversion on my truck but I keep running into the weight issue. Most our forklifts weigh just over 15,500# and our heaviest truck is 35,500# empty.

In frames are becoming more and more popular around here....cause they get to dodge all the emissions BS plus it cheaper than a brand new one.....
