This could be a cool upgrade, build your own mini Semi

> For the low, low price of just $12,950, you get the complete body ready to bolt onto your 1980s-1990s Ford F-250 two-wheel drive, 1973-1987 Chevrolet Pickup or 1994-2003 Dodge Ram into a baby big rig. At around five feet tall at the cab, the machines do an excellent job of looking just like the “real” thing.

Down south you could Pull with this rig. Not my cup of tea, but if you had an old truck with a beat body and a rotted bed, might be an option.

seems like alot of added weight. I did not read the artice or anything, but lets say you have a 90’s ford, the three quarter ton did not come with a huge motor. The 1 ton ford came with a 7.3 or a 460 with low ass gears but anything less would suck ass for towing… that looks much heavier than a stock truck lol

LOL, I wonder what this would run in the quarter built off a '73 Chevy pickup with a 135hp 305 in it…you would need a calendar.
