Bob, What you describe has unfortuntely become a very popular set-up. The Dokas (crew cab) are pretty hot. Adding highway gears adds more bucks. From what I have seen many of the Dokas were aircraft tugs, a fairly hard life. Dirk at Unimog Wherehaus is bringing these in and totally refurbishing them. The pics on his site show what you and I would probably consider the ultimate. He strips them down and completely refinishes them. He lengthens the frame to accomodate a longer tipper bed along with the crew cab. He adds highway gears, big tires, rear winch, lots of sound deadeners and americanizes some of the consumables. The tab for a fully finished unit is around $40,000! He has 6-7 in the works currently, all sold. So I have resigned myself to a reg cab with a long box tipper. I have found two, I am leaning towards the cheaper one, especially if I could get the engine redone for $3500 or so. I suspect it will be fine for years, just keeping my options open. Brent
