Special Order Trucks

I was wanting to see if there is anyone out there that has a truck that was specially ordered by a mining company, construction company or oil company. I was on Ebay a long time ago and saw a 77 f250 4x4 that was specially ordered for the Alaska Pipeline. It wasnt something anyone could just go and buy. Dont remember what all was on it but I know the color was custom and the suspension was beefed up. I find custom ordered trucks cool! Post pictures please!

my grandpa (owner of the truck for 30 years and the 3rd owner) says my 1978 F-250 was special ordered with an F-350 suspension system...

Justin, I doubt your Truck was a Special order...
Many Special order Truck's had Special Things, Such as different Bed's, or were ordered as a Cab & Chassis and a Bed was Put on By The dealer or owner.

Just check the DSO code on the door plate.

If is about 6 digits, it is a special order
