I have been looking for a better way to move some cars around. Also, I have been building a Tiny House in all my spare time that will need a hauler. The goal here is to use a 59 Jeep cab and a heavy duty chassis. I found a 93 P30 step van on the 3500 HD chassis with a 6.2 diesel for a good price. It had been parked for 17 years, but ran. I am going to cut down the van to the point that the box becomes a pickup bed. The bed is 8 ft wide/12 feet long and large enough to carry most any car that I own as well as fully capable of towing the house.
The jeep was part of a fire dept at some point in time.

Rotten tires. I was shocked at the high price of 19.5 tires and even more at the price of mounting and balancing. Most local shops wanted $600 for mount and balance!!

Here is a crappy manipulated photo of the end result....but you get the idea.

Currently deconstructing the van.
