They are rolling stock from either GM, Chrysler and/or Ford. The pickups are modified with heavy duty transmissions( usually an Allison), pintel hook for towing AGE, lights so you don't hit by a plane, and other gear for ramp use. Companies like Specialized Electronics and East Bay Frame & Axel could do the work for you. Some ramps call these vehicles Bobtails. They are rolling stock from either GM, Chrysler and/or Ford.
