I did find this:
http://jalopnik.com/5815452/custom-dodge-dakota-6x6-is-hard-to-explain/gallery/1
Apparently it is a true 6x6, made by a company called USA6x6 - that has
since been outed on Pirate4x4 as being a bunch of crooks and has since
gone out of business... That makes me sad, but if anyone on the list
ever sees a 6x6 conversion for sale anywhere, please let me know... ;-)
