That is the shortest W350 I've ever seen. Cool it is. That would make for a handy truck to pull a gooseneck trailer around in tight places. Maybe even a fiver if the trailer clears the cab.

Good thing you have the weight of a "real" motor to keep the front end down

Looks nice.

Yeah, just without the rust and dents. I gotta have my rust and dents

That is a pretty sweet ride. I would assume it's a factory SRW short bed with the arrowcraft flares.

That is definitely a creation of somebody. I am guessing it is a 1/2ton crossed with a W-350 running gear and a modified bed to hang the fenders... I bet it does ride like a bucking horse.
