    Street Legal Rockwell build ?

    I found this: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/12029-multifuel-engine-life.html That is a good idea, I found some for sale. But I still would want to put my exended cab on it and shorten the wheel base. I think they call it "bobbed" when you shorten the truck.

    Street Legal Rockwell build ?

    Hi Man thanks for responding! I thought 2 1/2 tons were a option for the C60 stock built from the factory? For the body I was thinking since the frame is built straight I could shorten to get what ever wheel base I want and fab up a way to mount the cab on proper. And I would use Vin from the...
