Too bad their frames are not as strong.

I think I see now why they don't build wreckers with the Dodge chassis.

That is actually true, they dont. I had my bronco towed on a late 90's flat bed dodge recker and the drive said it was junk.

i know on my 96 dodge..the last quarter of the frame was bolted on. As i was building it into the creation it is now..we weld the frame and added some plating on the back side. Now she is very strong...and has handled a tug with another truck at over 9000lbs each, and countless drag outs from the mud. But i only knew to do this because a buddy with a similar setup ripped his frame in half.
