What's missing is the big ole truck boot between cab and truck

That is my take. I had a 3/4 GMC just like it. I eventually put a flat bed on it. One of the TCs I had on it was a 11.5 foot Lance. I did have 12x16.5s on the rear, and 9x16.5s on the front. I also added an anti-sway bar and 1-ton overloads. I used the air donuts on the roof and between the TC/cab sliding windows. I used it for 10 to 15 years and never broke anything. I also pulled a 28-foot flatbed trailer with a WD hitch, loaded with a Sandrail (or Baja Bug) 3-wheel Hondas, motorcycles, camping gear, and extra gasoline.

They are ready for some kayaks...looks like early Yakima gutter rack on top...you know 19.5's would do it for sure!

19.5's, he just needs 19.5's!

Obviously needs diesel & a Dually. And a tag axle!!!

I think it will work ok if he scoots it forward a few more inches.

From the looks of the rear bumper, looks like they tried that, and then scooted it rearward to optimize the weight distribution.

Needs airbags. Good to go...

Must be a 'southern thing."
Seriously, just need this and it will fit just fine...

That looks about the vintage and colors of my first TC and truck. It did just fine and I did put a few miles on it and a lot of them were on dirt roads. The truck was a blue 1983 Chevy 4X4 6.2 diesel without a turbo on it. I'm sure he won't have any problems either.

Maybe he is storing it there for the winter although it will be a little tough to unload come spring.
