    Saw this driving on the freeway. I know nothing about it other than what I could see. Blew my mind.

    That's kinda rad. Frame is bent or more likely the flat deck isn't shimmed properly. Probably a dummy rear axle. Maybe a second stock kind on a second pair of leafs. If mounted inboard or outboard of the frame they could do that pretty easy.

    My buddy has a truck he built back in the 90s with 4 rear axles. 1 live and 3 dummies. It's like 26 feet long lol. It's a 79-83 style truck. Lowered an unibodied with an open back walk thru. Been trying to get him to restore it for like 8 years.

    Looks like a long wheelbase with a floating axle ..... Bed looks like its sagging or has been over loaded ... Clean cab thought

    I see flatbed duallys all the time but rarely an in line dually lol. I've seen tandem Toyota rvs a few times locally. Often has the giant 6 lug pattern. But they make cool rims for that pattern too.

    I think they're all 5-lug. The rear hub looks like it has a dust cap like the front hub. That must be the floater. The axle just behind the tool box has a flatter hub face. I wonder if the floater has brakes.
