Oh, now I get it. They're trying to create a SuperDuty version of the Avalanche.

Maybe they want to tow a 5th wheel, but that looks pretty sick.

Redneck with California plates. Must be from Bakersfield...

You know alcohol had to have been involved in that plan.

"No, no, wait...I got it! If you hack the roof off and move the lift gate forward, you can have a 3 foot bed, where you can haul lots of stuff. Like, a 4x8 sheet of plywood stood on end!

Pass me another beer, and the cutting torch!"

Well they weren't exactly rednecks in cali - but the next best thing. I'll give ya a hint - the only thing to complete it would be a giant sticker of a bull on the side doors. That, and some chrome fender trip to cap it off.

From the looks of the exhaust pipe, I would bet it has the 5.4 V8.

If so, that would blow the 5th wheel theory out the window.

Wonder what happened after the owner said "Hey ya'll, watch this!!"
Because if this is the Excursion afterwards, I'd hate to see him.

Would've been easier and looked way better to put Excursion rear doors in place of the tailgate on an F-250...
