This 1967 Dodge Sweptline 4×4 has been built from the frame up and rides on unbelievable 52″ Michelin tires. Usually trucks built beyond street legality make matters worse with full chrome undercarriages and tacky paint and graphics. This build goes the opposite direction, with a “Big Black” scheme that keeps it looking clean. The proportions are Tonka like, and we’d love to have a roomy ranch where the dirt roads to town were remote enough that we couldn’t get into too much trouble. Find it here on eBay in St. Louis, Missouri with the reserve met at $17k.

Laws very by state, but we’re pretty sure that 52-inch tires do not fly anywhere, except for maybe tractor use. Even so, those first few miles before the fuzz hunted you down would be fun ones. We remember whn the 44″ Super Swampers and Dick Cepek Fund Country tires were the largest in production. The larger wheel diameter usually ruins vintage trucks like this, but the mix of black and silver in the spokes has these wheels looking better than expected.

The custom suspension mounting points are dropped down with radius rods loke you might have seen on the early Bigfoot trucks. The airbags are a more modern development, and likely give some height adjustability.

The interior is nicely preserved with a bench seat and good looking factory dash gauges. The column is a later or aftermarket unit, and it looks like a Saginaw-style steering box is on a drop bracket with hy-steer arms to improve angles.

We like create builds done with vintage style. This one looks like the real deal. What would we use it for? Who cares? We just want to park it in front of our big red barn or park a Porsche 356 underneath it.
