    You cant change to 4 cl because of smog too they will not allow you to reg. first thing I was going to do because i had 05 dodge longbed hemi at the time and didnt need flatbed only for huge carpet jobs. I blew the hemi motor and fortunately I had the flatbed because i carpeted repo houses all over northern ca and it was good to me

    Yeah I've been known to drive as well, luckily this one is only a couple hours away. Maybe we can make a deal.

    most likely. maybe a donor car and a mega-squirt system probably too much to do to the old truck an would not be cost effective,unless you are looking at replacing it with a nice newer truck, but it would be cool

    it might be the same frame width spring length and all depending on what year your truck is it may bolt up or the engine should get better mileage and emissions than what came in it again depending on what year it is. the only 'yota duallys i have seen are the older ones that came under the dolphin motorhomes,may have been bought as a chassis cab is this what we are talking about?

    I found one in a junkyard one time wanted the rearend and springs to put on another truck, but did not feel like toting them out. is the frame made the same as on the lighter trucks?
