That is a good Idea, he will just have to come up with the long bed chassis.   Still probably cheaper than my idea.

You don't know where he could scavenge a long wheel base chassis do you, Wermy?  :hahaha: :gap:

Fuel pump went bad, took it out and found a can of rust.
Replaced the fuel tank from RockAuto.
Next is replacing the fuel filter, servicing the injectors, and seeing what's next.
Oh, tires need some air.
