I know it's not a Ford oddball, (that may actually be a good thing) but I saw this thing today at the hospital.
And in case anyone is curious, it was NOT a clean transition...

Now I'm going to have to watch the movie.
There is a facebook page on it:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1539262516391069/
One guy says it was built on a Ford C-900 chassis.
Another has a video of it and mentioned it had an added on Peterbuilt suspension.
