This never would have crossed my mind to do...
Next door to the house my aunt owned. Her garage is in the picture. I once considered cutting down a bus for a backhoe hauler. Many have the perfect suspension. Decking them over would be the biggest challenge. You can buy them dirt cheap, fresh out of service. They have been well maintained & inspected thoroughly.

Was it a suicide attempt? I mean, how do you manage to fit the truck through that gap?
When I was towing, putting up with gawkers, theorists, and just general public with ideas of
how it happened and how to clean it up never ended.

Those are gin poles and a winch, not a rack

I worked for a guy that has one of those. We called it "Buck". I think he's trying to sell it. We used to haul a mini excavator and CTL at the same time with it.
