I am absolutely in love with this truck. more than anyone should be. i cant seem to find anything on google so i thought id ask the community.

Has anyone done this sorta thing to an Obs, Bricknose or Bullnose? Id love to see one cause it might be a plan for my truck in the future. except the odd pintle hitch system they got goin, id just have a 5th wheel hitch.

Any help finding something close to this in an older ford would be great!

For starters it's got a class 4 axle in the rear and probably class 4 stuff up front and Alcoa 19.5 rims that probably cost more than the last truck I bought...

F250/350 with dropped beams and a C notch in the rear with some super-duty parts and bags and you'll be close. You'll want to convert the rear to ladder bars and a chassis cab model might be a good start with its 34" wide rear frame. An F-superduty might be a good starting point.

This photo just gave me more reason to use a Dana 70 dually axle from a old RV I have! I like it!

I have a 91 F150 parts truck to use with no rear axle to boot!

The F&F truck isn't that low. The side pipes and front air dam give the impression though. I think the stance and wheels are just right, they fill out the wheel wells perfectly. The slammed dually's look like crap to me. You might not even need dropped beams with the right 19.5 tire. Something in the 33" size would probably work well. A 245-70-19.5 would work well, but get out your credit card, they're almost $500 each.

As for slammed dually's looking like crap... well personally I think ANY slammed truck looks like crap. Trucks go up, cars go down. But that's just my opinion lol.

I don't like the slammed look. What's the point of doing that to an F350? The truck was meant to be a work horse, not a drag queen! And especially on a dually. One small rock and you are doing hundreds if not thousands of $$ in body work. Lifted dually like that one above, that looks like a dually should IMO.

I have seen some rangers that can pull the slammed look off, but it's a small truck to start with anyway.

Now that's just awesome right there.
