Looks to be a 50's style, look at the round fenders, that's definitely a street rod.

YEEEAH! Nice Pic!
I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!

I agree with Mechanic688, in addition look at the rear window, 50's vintage. It must have a beefed up suspension, because a gooseneck trailer like that is going to have a lot of tongue weight. I would have put the truck being hauled further forward on the trailer. Sitting over the axles like it is can cause a lot of bouncing on the trailer, which will transfer to the truck doing the pulling, if he has to stop hard. Happened to me hauling about 16,000 lbs in a hotshot load from near Tulsa OK to Houston TX, and was not fun. Had to leave a lot of room between me and any vehicle ahead as I could only gently brake, otherwise my truck would buck in the back end pretty harshly. Also notice he has it secured at four points with nylon straps. They will hold, but usually chains are required.

With a rig like that I would have to say he is not going far. Usually they are secured a little better

Huh... I was going to say that the truck had to be '90+ as I don't remember any four door pickup trucks before the 90's or so.

My grandfather had one of these Dodge's. His was a 1962.

Cool old truck and does a good job showing who's boss towing the monster truck.
Ford has been building Crew Cabs since way back as well.

Yeah older dually long beds can typically be found in 4 door crew.cab, because they are work trucks. Right now my dad just bought a 68 c10 that he is planning on turning into a dually and custom 4 door
