that looks like so much fun! I hope I can get out to some dunes sometime! (doubt my truck will ever go that far though, unless its michigan).

That crewcab is the SEX. I saved that pic... its my inspiration for what my truck wants to be when it grows up! Do you know what size wheels those are? look like 20's. Just wondering cause I have 20's for my 44's and everyone keeps telling me they won't look right under the old truck.

We had a great time out on the dunes, I'm glad everyone is enjoying the pictures.

The crew cab is def a head turner, to the point he got pulled over on the way up by the CHP and got a couple of fix-it tickets (frame height, headlight height, mud flaps & the way the exhaust dumps out the side). That was a shame especially since it took some convincing to get him to go with us. This guy def builds some bad trucks, I'm sure people have seen the last truck he built on this site (the orange pumpkin), he sold it to 75F350 (Ed) to help finance the crew cab.

Those are 20"x12" rims on 41" tires on the crew cab

Here is a picture of his old orange truck before he sold it


here is a picture of the crew cab at a local Ford show a couple of weeks back

Looks like it was a good time!

Got any pics of his exhaust? I want to see what he got a ticket for.

While I don't disagree with the frame and headlight height rule (not a fan of overly tall trucks) I'm interested to see what was so bad about an exhaust.

*edit*
found this one here https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...at-knotts.html since my exhausts are set up like that I'd LOVE to hear the reasoning behind the ticket.
