12 valve, and if your going for the truck pull circuit as well. . .you will be kicking yourself for not getting 4x4 since wheel speed is pretty critical. only time I pulled my truck I had to use 2nd 4lo and went 119feet pulling something around 35-40K I think. if I had used 3rd gear I may have gotten another 50 feet tops just for being able to get more momentum.

Thats Good Input, Haven't Had A Designated Pull Truck. Driven Them, Never Had My Own - Thats The Goal.

So 4wd Drives To Way Then?

I Wanted The Dually For The Payload - A Buddy of Mine Directed Me To Look For A Dually.

It's An Odd Feelin' - But When It Comes to The Best Designed Pull Truck, I Am Clueless - Need Input. As Always Though, Thats What Excites Me The Most: Learning, and Concerning.

No, it is in his front yard. I could take pics if you want. No joke this thing is RED and looks and runs perfect. The bed is not even scratched up. I wish I had the $$.

Hey watermelon, no offense to redram05baby but if he isn't interested in your buddy's truck I am. If he passes on it would you mind filling me in on the details? thanks

It is located here in Piedmont SC on Hwy 86 just off of I-85. Map it out, It is worth the drive if a 12 valve in perfect shape is what you want.
