So, it's an f250 with a split tail gate? Would be cooler if it was 4 door bronco style with a removable top!

Now you're cooking with Propane. I'd love to have the money/talent to make a 4 door bronco out of an excursion. I'd even go with a V10 over my beloved diesel if I could pull it off...

I may try to tackle it after I buy a new house. Everything would have to be custom done. I don't think it would be too challenging, mainly time consuming

didn't even cross my mind that it sorta is the same concept as an Avalanche!

overall i kinda like it. if the dip down on the top of the barn doors was filled in and squared off with the rest of the doors and the "bed", i think it'd look more finished. looks built well though whoever did the work.

Ummmm, those barn doors are still made out of FIBERGLASS guys. They wouldn't hold up to much for very long. I find that thing absolutely pointless unless all F250/F350 trucks went extinct tomorrow. Just sayin'...

I love it personally. If I had the money I would totally spend it on something else but still like the look of this. I mean there's no way I would put that kind of money into my truck to make it a pickup when I could use that money for so many other better things.

i agree. even if i had the money i dont think i'd do this. i dont like it enough. if a f250 didn't exist, it'd be different. but they do.

also, like someone said, this very well could have been a case of the back end was destroyed, so they took advantage of the situation and just did this and cut the rear body out. lol
