Window Shopping for Ramp Trucks or Roll Backs

I need a front suspension from a squarebody for the brakes. I have seen what I need to get it done but ....... I am full of excuses.

It not a small job, but it’s a pretty simple nut and bolt affair for the most part. I’ve done a couple now and I think the best way is to just do the control arms and steering parts. It’s all coming apart since you’d want to replace the wear parts anyway. No need to swap the whole crossmember.
The only challenging part is the brake lines.

But, but ...... I cannot deny the Ramp Truck sweetness.

I don’t know much about these things, but my buddy Mark showed up in Parker AZ with his new Motor toter and custom built trailer complete with custom built rock crawler in the back

No kidding, hotels are expensive!

As much as people like to give me shit for buying a motorhome once you are spending more than a 3-4 days a month in a motel they start making sense. You've got to shop & know what you're getting into. If I was still only going to use it for short stays a truck camper is more practical.
Some of these rigs are way beyond my pay grade.
