Wonder how bad the wife would react to burning a pile of cash on something like that?

There was a prototype Dodge truck made years ago, which was 6 wheel drive- wasn't it called Tyranosaurus Rex, or something like that?

Found it- it was called T-Rex.

That is a remarkable job you are doing. I'm also eager to see how you drive that rear differential.

The beer tap is a bonus. A lot of good times come out of that tap.

In the picture that Ed posted, it looks like 3/4 ton axles in the back. I even see two sway bars. Rockwells would definitely be easier for the driveshaft issues, but height would become one I would think.

The pics that ed posted may be a prototype, I have no idea either way. This is the truck that killed top truck challenge when it was built. Too bad it doesnt have a diesel, the only thing missing.
