Re: wheelbase length

Its tempting, but it would cost quite a bit to get it from Cal. to Indiana. I built one on a 500 about 5 yrs ago and I sold it.

Re: single wheels

I understand the weight issue, but I will only be pulling my trailer with it, not using it to haul heavy loads. John, that would be the same truck after I buy it back. I sold it several years ago and just made arrangements this past weekend to purchase it back.

Re: single wheels

The plan is to put an 8' bed on a D600 and I don't want the duals sticking out past the bed. I take it that the wheels need to be custom made
