You cant change to 4 cl because of smog too they will not allow you to reg. first thing I was going to do because i had 05 dodge longbed hemi at the time and didnt need flatbed only for huge carpet jobs. I blew the hemi motor and fortunately I had the flatbed because i carpeted repo houses all over northern ca and it was good to me

ebay that sucker, someone from one of the states around you will come get it, sell sell sell , ive drove from arkansas to atlanta(and numerous other places) for a couple four wheelers, people will drive if they are getting a deal

not even newer model engine and better mileage/emissions? that is crazy.

Yeah I've been known to drive as well, luckily this one is only a couple hours away. Maybe we can make a deal.

yeah you can you just have to go to the "referee" and get a sticker put on your door jam saying it's legal to smog. lotsa hoops to jump thru

most likely. maybe a donor car and a mega-squirt system probably too much to do to the old truck an would not be cost effective,unless you are looking at replacing it with a nice newer truck, but it would be cool

maybe something like this put a new oil pump waterpump timing set whatever makes you feel better for cheap insurance against breakdown or put your flat bed and rearend/springs in this

it might be the same frame width spring length and all depending on what year your truck is it may bolt up or the engine should get better mileage and emissions than what came in it again depending on what year it is. the only 'yota duallys i have seen are the older ones that came under the dolphin motorhomes,may have been bought as a chassis cab is this what we are talking about?

I found one in a junkyard one time wanted the rearend and springs to put on another truck, but did not feel like toting them out. is the frame made the same as on the lighter trucks?

**** the smog thing sucks.Glad we dont have it here anymore.

you know what skippy, there was a guy in nashville told me he registered his 3/4 ton van with commercial tags, presto, no smog test

we had emmisions test, but commercial vehicles weren't required to take it
