    Yeah, I just can't get those folding full length deck trailers low enough, some of my buses are just a tick over 10' so with a 40" deck I can go the whole length and be at or under 13' 6" We'll just have to see, won't be the first time I threw money at something that no one else is doing,,,,,, doesn't always work out though??????

    I'm guessing you will lose the stack and turn it in a weedburner?

    Hey Mr. P No head rack, nothing over the cab, standup sleeper, just a bed with a 15' lift and tilt table hinged at the front. No climbing on this bad boy, lol

    Yeah, there is quite a bit to be done, weed burner, polished aluminum covers for batt/DEF/DPF boxes, toolboxes, go to 255 tires on rear to match trailer, recal ecm for speedo, install a rear cabinet in the sleeper, pull the pass, seat for more room, genpac. and maybe a color change? But all of the important stuff was spot on, wheelbase was perfect for what I what, so no frame stretch, just a small add in the back for the stinger hitch, short hood, aluminum wheels, good gearing, the tandem axle spacing I wanted, truck already has PTO AND a split 70/30 fuel hyd tank !!! and the small sleeper, everything else I can live with.

    Can't wait to see this when its done. I know your not going with a full 3 car head rack but I think this will be a great set up.

    I still want to see someone chop up a Cascadia and do a 3-4 car headrack. I don't know why. Maybe because there everywhere and no ones done it yet as far as I know.
