I dont know if you have seen this on youtube, but this is the coolest truck I have seen in a very very long time.

Notice the way they stepped the bed, I have seen some other ways of dealing with the too low or too high bed that worked, usually by channelling the cab and raising the bed but this one really nails it. I like it!

I met this truck on the highway near my house a couple of weeks ago. It looks great . After seeing the video I know where that shop is. It's about an hour from here. I am going to go there and see if I can look at the truck up close and personal. I love it.I have wanted to build a cabover for a long time.

Oh! If you do, take some pics, and post them and the story behind the truck maybe? That is cool!

I've studied the video over and over.I've paused it several places to see details.It has 10 lug wheels .I can't tell what size the Toyo tires are though.What kind of chassis do you suppose it's on? I haven't seen may builds with 10 lug wheels.I would like to know who supplies wheels like these. I will try to see the truck up close and personal if the owner allows.If I can get permission I will take a bunch of photos to share.

most likely mid 90's F-450. They had straight axles and disc brakes and 10 lug wheels and you can get adapters for 20 inch big truck wheels

I had a phone conversation with the owner on Monday. Nice guy. He said I was welcome to come to his house and see the truck.After Christmas, I will go and take some pictures to post on here. So far , I know that the suspension is GM with ten lug adapters, and the engine is a 460 Ford.I'm looking forward to the visit.
