i found one i really like, it's extended, and has a high top, and a roof mounted low profile satellite dish... put's it at almost 8'6" tall. 244" long. so same length as my old one ton truck but a fucking foot and a half taller.

now im fucked though because to ship it, because it's fucking huge, is out of control.

first quote i got was $5600... second $3870.

fucks my budget ROYALLY

it's a 32 hour drive

i ain't got the vacation time to make this make sense currently.

it'd be 3 10+ hour days or 2 16's. either way it wouldn't be too super.

Oh.. hmm, well, I’d probably still do it for a bigger fraction of that [emoji38] it’s nice having 4 day work weeks. My family might not appreciate it but that’s what pay is for amiright?

Outlaw Outlaw has a friend that hot shots right?


im not even sure the price could make sense getting it on a trailer alone.

youd have to trailer something out there basically.

my last truck was the same length as i said, but a foot and a half shorter in height... it came on a flat bed with two other trucks from oregon, similar mileage.. it was $1,159

i figured this could/would go the same way.... but fuck me

It’s a cucv2, super rare right now. Plus ambulance so has a/c and electric in rear already. Would make a rad expedition camper.


i think if i was going to put the time and effort and money into converting something id try to find a crew cab amberlamps like this.
