Modernize the drivetrain with a Cummins & 6 speed auto. It'd be sweet as heck.
You could always build one out of a GMC motorhome
OP
Bought a few months ago and drove it home. Plans have changed and I don't need it now. GMC 7500 with 248000 miles on Cat 3126 b motor. 6 speed manual transmission. Has a 22' box with a winch drawn mounted ramp. Also has a 12000 pound winch inside .Has heavy D-rings thru out as well as e- tracks. Truck was used to haul a tractor around to pulling events.
Would make a great toter home / toy hauler or put it back to work..
Has air ride but no air brakes.
$14,500.00 or would consider trading for a 3/4 or 1 ton pickup.

I had briefly considered picking up a ramp or flatbed truck. After looking at buying one, fixing it up, how much I'd use it, insurance, maintenance, storage, etc. it sounded like a good idea, but wasn't. A nice truck and trailer was a better option, and far more versatile.
For what you'll spend, you can get a nice aluminum trailer and hardly know it's back there on a 1/2 ton truck. The only time it's really an issue is when crossing mountains. As far as the 55 mph limit, the 55 - 60 zone is typically where I find myself driving. When pulling 5,000+ pounds it just feels safer to be driving at those speeds. I'll stop being old and boring now!

Cut a school bus in half. Flat bed the back. RV the front. Boom. Done.

hello, selling a cool project bus, has 22 foot flatbed. Bus was cut in halfish and I built the custom flatbed with all new steel and lots of heavy tie downs, used to haul a Toyota Rockcrawler on the back of the bus, and camp in the front cab. always ran great for me and still does. Fun to drive! Trades are welcome.

That things perfect except you prolly only doing 55mph in it anyway. Lol

Too bad the gas engine and the repaint. Maybe a 12v 6BT and tranny conversion? Also, first time I have seen the dually version of the CUCV for sale in my area.https://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/pts/d/apache-junction-1981-gmc-k3500-4x4/7515365174.html
