Thanks. It is in AWESOME condition, just a little dirty. The interior will be seeing a new seat cover and radio internals, but is very nice. No cracks in the dash, door panels are all together.

The engine is all original and has 130,000 DOCUMENTED miles. It is mated to the 5 spd tranny.

Runs like a dream. I had some issues with the batteries being dead, but the truck sat for a month or so. No worries, charged it up and went on my way.

The PO put the bed on there. I'm thinking that I'll hang on to it.

Good! This way you can fly under the radar, meaning you still have a very heavy-duty truck but it looks like a regular pickup truck - less attention from the DOT goons How much distance you have in the rear between the inner wheel's inboard sidewall and the fender's verticall wall? reason I'm asking is your axle is 4" narrower (2" per side) than the axle that bed is supposed to go on top of...

Indeed! Altho a SRW bed with them 6" fender flares would have been a bit better choice IMHO, as those big dually fenders are very wide and rather easy to damage and costly to fix/replace should you catch something with them, and the cab-chassis axle does not require them to be that wide anyways...

would be pretty cool to see a side shot.
not everyday you get to see an f450 in pickup truck style.
it does look pretty dang tough like this.
back when "superduty" meant the words.not pickups with extra long flexy springs hey.

I'm interested to see if the frame was chopped or not. Stance on it is nice and mean.

I can check the inner wheel space in the morning; too cold now.

More pictures tomorrow.

Reading up on the paper history given to me from the PO, the truck was used as a welding rig.
