    CBR Metalworks M920 hauler 'Mad Max'

    Then use the 4 cylinder Perkins. Should be just the ticket. I use my wrecker nearly every day, but mine has a real motor.

    It should burn A gallon an hour. Not like you'd use the crane for four hours at a time though. 20- 30 minutes and you would be done and loaded and on your way I imagine. And it certainly wouldn't be ever lacking in power.

    Man, just run the stuff off a pto. Having the truck running doesn't burn that much fuel and it is a whole lot simpler. You are overthinking things.

    I saw that Photoshop pic and thought you were done building it...

    Yeah I forgot about the front axle. That does complicate things. You could just do away with the front wheel drive. I kinda doubt you'd really need it, but that is usually when you need it( when you don't think you do).

    It should get up and move down the road a bit faster anyway.

    So with the slightly higher gear ratio and the larger tires, coupled with the 400 cummins, that should be a pretty viable combination without a running gear swap right? Just need to figure out driveshaft adaptation.

    I bet if you stick with the tires that come with the wrecker unit the gearing wouldn't be too bad at all.

    Well that depends... What is the axle ratio on the 920?

    I bet it would be easiest to just do a frame stretch on the 920 and then put some of the parts on it like the knuckle boom and some of the storage boxes and such. Or lift the whole wrecker bed off the frame it comes on and set it onto a stretched 920 frame.
