Cool Any body have a BIG truck?

I've been looking around and can't find any big truck forums. I just bought a GMC TOPKICK and will be building a hauler. Its a '94 6500, and was a moving truck. It had a 24' box on it that I already sold. Im gonna put a first gen Cadillac Escalade body on it, and a roll back behind that. The TOPKICK nose cone will bolt directly to the Escalade, and it will look like a 3 ton suburban. The truck has a 200HP CAT diesel, and an Alison automatic. Im just looking for others like me, I tend to stay so far out side the box people can't even believe what Im doing.

If you do this...a build thread will be mandatory. Positively mandatory.

BIG truck like this?

I am not aware of forums specifically for the BIG trucks, but then again since I don't own one I have never looked.

Cool

Here's the first pic, its the only one I have right now.(yellow truck) I got the injectors lashed, and she runs great. Now I just need my caddy! The 2nd pic is a friends truck, I know its not a great pic but you get the idea. Wait till I see his suburban again, then you will see what BIG really means!

16' rollback(smallest usefull one) and a 23' escalde means you will be over 26001 lbs. Hope you have a CDL class B or farm tags.

Cool

The portion of the escalade Im using is only 15', so it wont be as long as you think. Im not worried about the weight ether. I have a class A so it makes no difference to me. Although I don't think it will be that heavy. The truck was 13,000 with the box on it, Im sure the box is weighs more then an escalede.
