I don't see anything wrong cept toget rid of the front bumper and put something smaller if anything it would make a great tow rig.

That reminds me of the GM 70 passenger bus I saw at the Donner Summit rest stop once.

The bus had the top section of a VW bus, and a Airplane cockpit attached to the roof.

Now I've seen F-600's with this treatment done to them, sleepers added with fifth wheels, but this is the first F-250 I have seen done.

Nice 1980-1986 bed it's got on it too.

Ah well...

I would guess that some where along that trucks life someone dressed it out for what they call Hotshoting.Where a 1 ton pulls up to a 3 car trailer and gets it there faster and cheaper then the big companies.Right now the truck looks a little rode hard and put away wet.Especially for a 4K reserve

Thanks for the feedback on the truck. I'll bet it cost over $20k to build and countless upon countless hours. You would not believe all the custom stuff that truck has.

One things for sure.....
I love the "custom" duct tape patches haha...thats some expensive rust he's selling. Now granted it was nice-ish once but now...not worth what hes asking. I'd bet it'd be cheaper to build another than to fix all thats wrong with it now.

i like the touch with the lokar shifter for the "big rig shifter look" on the C6 trans, but they left the clutch pedal in it when the conversion was done.

You might think Im crazy but the D60 Front axle and the gear vendors OD unit is most probably worth the $2500 starting bid. Too bad I dont have the kind of money to throw around on buy "UNIQUE" trucks like that
