Not yet. Will finish the truck with the box for now. Probably a year or two (assuming business growth goes the way I planned), and then I'll put a standard classic pickup truck cab on it, and build a ramp truck.

I'd like to use a 50's style cab:

And build a ramp truck:

The whole reason for buying such a ridiculously long truck as I have, is that once the crew-cab and long box are taken off the truck, and a standard pickup truck cab placed on the frame...the bare frame sticking out the back will be 12ft long. A beetle, bumper to bumper, is 14ft long. Meaning I should be able to build a ramp truck without extending the frame/drivetrain on the chassis. The ramp truck conversion is a couple of years out though, there is a LOT of money in steel, aluminum, etc that I'm not able to shell out currently.
