That is a sharp looking truck.
The add cracked me up a bit. Here are some quotes:
"The restoration took over 2 years and was done as a money is no object build."
"The horn is inoperable. "
"Inside, the restoration continues with a dark green bench seat" - Nope Grey
"One of the distinguishing F-350 features is its ventilated-disc wheels. Here, they are painted black" - Nope Meadow Green
"surrounded by 7.50-17 tires in front and 7.50-16 light truck tires in the rear." - So, larger rims in the front????
Are the rear rims widowmakers?
F-100 badges on it?? See first quote above.

Here are the rear wheels.


Sweet truck! I wouldn't turn it away if it came calling. $24,900 is probably not a bad price. More than I could justify though. It's a custom cab as well.



F-100 badges and dreaded hood hokey pokey. Well shoot PC flaking out and won't let me add more pictures....

BJ, this is just down the road from you. Go take it for a test drive.

The fronts are the widow makers. Rears are probably standard 16" x 5.50F duals with RHP side rings. Nice truck. Stu

Very nice truck. I think we talked about here when it was on eBay as an auction. It didn't meet reserve and the high bid was only about $7000.

Harrier Joe, "It's a Custom Cab, too." What? you can't afford the upgraded Custom Cab? JK, LOL.

Actually it is not a custom cab. It just has stainless division bars because no one reproduces the black painted division bars! I am ticked about that. My 55 needs new antirattlers and fuzzies but I will not buy a whole new division bar especially a fancy shiny one just for the antirattlers in it. If you look closely the wing vent frame is black not stainless and there is no cardboard panel on the doors.

And no I am not buying it just because it's Meadow Green! Although it does have a script bed.

I've looked through a lot of MotoExotica's ads over the past few years. The pics they display typically don't quite match the claims of the text.
