Short wheelbase is not your friend for real towing. Must be for some low speed purpose like the tugs others posted.

Tow ~

Not at all, It takes towing perfectly even at high speeds. Handles like a Cadillac Through in's and out's of express ways, off ramps, inner metropolis, not a problem. Heavy loads or mid weight, its ideally suited.

He said it was originally an F-250, he bought it shortened and mentioned that he's since put it on a f100 chassis with a normal bed.

Thought I'd post cause you just don't see this everyday, probably for good reason, ha, though it is neat...

Reminds me of the Poor '65 'Stang I saw that was turned into a Ranchero.
