That is awesome. I still don't think I would ever do that to my truck but it is cool.

I would give my left #@$ for one of those older PW swivel frame trucks reconditioned and ready to go. Would be pretty amazing to have a new one with that set up too. Probably wouldn't make the cut with all the regulations for vehicle safety there are nowadays though.. :doh:

If you could figure a way to make it work with all the wires/cables/fuel tank/lines & hoses, i KNOW it could be made plenty strong enough. Our frames are pretty HD & could take it. :cheers:
