have ya'll seen this MegaCab before??

i saw this truck at the local used car lot, i know NOTHING about the truck i thought about asking the salesmen but i dont trust those guys as far as i can throw them.... they would tell me Chip Foose built it or some bogus junk like that.

i am interested in any info about the truck. hopefully factual.

just curious thats all.

thanx,
Max.

I remember seeing a Dodge Concept truck at a car show about 12 -15 years ago that was a tandem setup like that. It was V10 power, Ibelieve they called it T-Rex.

The extra axle would look great under a HumVee...

I think that truck would look better with a couple mods.
1. put a flat bed on it.
2. put duals on it.
3. extend the bed a few feet.

I like it, I would drive it around for sure.

Several years ago I saw a feature in Truck Trend where a guy had done similar with a Ford Dually. He used a crew cab, but extended the bed to fit tandem dually axles. It was pretty neat.

I believe this quite possibly a USA6x6 conversion. There are photos of a black mega cab 6x6 in progress on their site.

I got to see the T-Rex 6x6, it is currently housed in the lobby of a college in Dayton, Ohio (Sinclair for those who know the area).

I thought it looked good, cept for being a gasser and having fiberglass bed sides. The tandem axle is a live axle, not just a tag axle. Interestingly enough this truck is not a 1 mile trailer queen, it in fact has 101k on the ticker.

Edit: look closely at the doors under the ram badge and you can see the USA 6x6 badge.
