This is a cool thread!

I’m slowly collecting parts for my tool truck project.
I’ve been driving around a long bed crew cab ram on 37’s with a 6x12 cargo trailer that I drastically
Overloaded. I’ve since installed a 7k# axle with brakes which is nice.

I see my buddies riding their cool bikes to
Their sales jobs, or fancy cars to their skilled trades jobs.
I want something cool to drive too.
I’m a one man show general contractor so I have enough tools for all aspects of building.
The tool truck would serve the purpose.
I got me a late 50’s gmc LCF and just picked up a Chevy p30 rolling chassis last weekend.
I plan on running milled 22.5” wheels with 22” tires. Bagged and a beverage delivery body on the back. I want the front two sections to have roll up doors still, but I’ve grown accustomed to the ramp door on the trailer so
I want to close off the sides on the two end units of the box, and put a ramp door on the far back behind the axle. This will provide a space for rolling tools. Tile saws. Table saws. And other large items.

I was thinking of a duramax and Allison to keep
It all in the same family,
But I’ve owned cummins my whole driving life and know them pretty well.
I don’t expect a lot of cab room. But as long as I heave 2 seats, I’ll be happy.
Bye bye firewall.
