I love these and the old enclosed Olyenik haulesr-but-you need to check a few things before you buy. Check the gvw sticker on the door-som e people have done this conversion with a 3/4 ton 8600 and added a dually axle. also, there was a (GM) cab & chassis that always should have been used with a GVW of 10,800 or 11000 lbs on that sticker. What was noted above is true-you are going to be technically overweight in a lot of places. Some states will allow an upgrade to the titles advertised gvw if you provide proof of upgraded suyspension and brakes. and speaking of brakes-these trucks are pretty short on them unless they have been updated as well.
