I would love to have either of the 2 race car haulers. Both were probably scrapped years ago. What a waste.

I'm happy to tell you both trucks are alive and well, they both went to auction this year.

Wow, great news. Hmm...auctioned as a pair with drag cars? Someone will need deep pockets indeed. Either way, nice to see them restored to as new condition.

the front bumpers on the dodge almost looks similar to 99-01 sport bumpers.

Using just a Mexican grill is not going to be a Topkick, you need the oversized capacity of the frame rails, the oversized dually rear end, the oversized front axle, the widened fenders with the wells, probably a much larger engine and transmission. Otherwise you just have a regular capacity truck, the point of a Topkick is a bed you can never weigh down you could stack refrigerators 20ft tall and probably still not have any squat, otherwise it's not a functional Topkick.
