I live around Kansas City and would drive south to see that! Lol. I have to give the guy props for the time and work but, that thing looks weird with the small stepside bed.
Exactly what I was thinking. I think it would look awesome with a different bed, get rid of the middle set of doors so it's more limo like, and slam it on the ground.

I'd bet it was custom built for an oil company (or similar) back when it was new, by a 3rd party. One vehicle that could handle a crew of up to 9, and still have some room left for gear/tools.

I can see that. It's hard to see from the pictures but it looks like they did a great job. The bed still kills me though!

The bed is most likely something someone added at a later date, as it has 80-86 flairside fenders. Most likely had some sort of utility bed on it in the beginning.

The truck was built by the owner. As I understand it he may be the original owner. He built it for his business which is canoe rentals. I assume haulin folks to the river. It is for sale. It is a F350 Camper Special chassis. He told me he was asking $3500. The truck is located just north of Alton, MO on 19 & south of 60. About halfway between the two. West side of the road. He has several trucks sitting along the fence. It is a 460, I don't remember the trans, he said new brakes, along with a bunch of other new parts. I did not crawl all over it but he did do a good job on it. I thought it was either a special Ford truck or a 3rd party truck.

Very interesting. It could be a practical rig for a boy scout camp or something like that to acquire. Still trying to come up with a practical reason for me to acquire it
