Spotted: Built 2011+ converted Excursion

I saw this guy a few days ago. The whole thing looked amazing. Road Armor bumpers, matching rear fender profiles, lift, tires. Very nice.

Is it anyone on here?

Check out customs by tim. They do conversions. There are a couple others who have documented these builds as well.

judging from the exhaust a excursion body was grafted to a newer F2/350 (what Tim does) verses a newer front end grafted to an old excursion.

How does CBT do the sheetmetal? Are they able to buy it from Ford, or Perhaps he bought Fords dies?? Can't imagine he buys all those bodies in salvage yards.....

I saw one this past summer in No. Conway, a dark blue six door Excursion..... I assume a CBT truck. Wish I was able to snap a pic.

Last year someone came into a shop that I use to work next to and wanted his new truck into an Excursion. Of course they were not going to turn away a paying customer, but it was an F-150....kind of a waste if you ask me. I will try to see if I can find some more pictures of it.

That thing is awesome. How much did the conversion cost them? I would love to do that to an F-350.

Do you know if they dealt with the structural stuff required to support the upper seat belt mounts? Seems to be you would have to do quite a bit of engineering to do it the right way.

Yeah, an F150 can't be turned into an Excursion. It's already called an Expedition. Probably cheaper than that conversion cost too...

I could be wrong but didn't the F-150s like the one converted come with a solid rear axle while the Expedition has independent front and rear suspension?
