Converting my dully to a 10 wheel drive to handle Toyhauler

I have gone where most will no go. I am in the process of adding a 2nd drive axle. I am doing the work myself. As you can tell from the pics. I have came a long ways. I just have the bed work to finish the project. I will be extending the bed & dully fenders to have a full bed. Let me know what you think.



















The reason I am doing this is to handle the toy hauler better on the road.

    Sorry for delay. Got caught up in lifes missions. Everything has turned out fine with the added axel. I havent tied the two to geather yet. Still a work in progress. But I did put new tires and wheels on it. $4300.00 later :( Here is a current pic. I plan on going on a 2000 mile trip in two weeks.



    I will post more pics later. Thanks

    If you take a look at the tail lights and the cab, pretty sure its a Chevy with the front end from the Escalade, it swaps in pretty easily. There are several Chevy trucks around here that I have seen with the "caddy" front end..
