I occasionally think about doing that to my crewcab, though I'd move the front axle up some, prolly do a flatbed. Otherwise my wheelbase would be so stupidly long I'd have to make U-turns in the next county :haha:

EDIT: As I read the ad, though, I'm scared ... a 454, but it's a C-10, and the rear rear axle isn't driven... odd, odd. And the bed extension isn't welded up particularly well, 'cuz even in these tiny pix you can see the wrinkles. I mean, not like I could personally do better, but it's still obviously homebrew. I just hope the suspension is better than the body work :|

probly worth that for the 454 and the cab and front clip, IF it is as nice as it looks in the pics.
 
I think that's look slick on a crew cab, but I'd use a 4wd chassis and make the mid axle a drop axle for trailer towing. That way when you arent towing, a hydraulic ram would pick the axle up and save wear/tear and keep the stock driving characteristics. Eliminate tire scrub as well.
 
Worth it for the parts, as far as the back? meh, not my cup of tea. About the only dual rear axle I liked was the one in F&F 4 in the begining sequence where they were stealing tankers.
