You'd have to think twice about stealin it - it would be pretty hard to hide ;D ;D

Never know. My brother's F350 4x4 4 door with 8ft bed with 13.5 inches of lift on 37's got stolen. And they hid it for atleast 3 weeks. It was also on TV with a highspeed chase. They found out what the switches by the center console and the bottle in the back were for. :

 

That one is at least respectable.

 

I wander how I'm going to pull my horse trailer with that ???

Simple:
Jack the 5'er up on 12" leaf springs and put 37" tires on it!!

 

Homestead, is the cab of that truck a 4-door chevy or a 4-door conversion ???

4x4

Ya, it has what looks like a 2nd generation Ram hood and grille, but I see 2 full doors (and can assume there are also 2 on the other side)

I passed by this place today on my way home and took a good look at the truck. Should help clarify a few questions that were lingering before.

1) Yes, it does have hydraulic steering, along with 4 steering stabalizers. Yes, I said 4.

2) The front axle is not connected, there's no front drive shaft at all. I'm betting this thing never will/never has seen a puddle of mud.

3) Those are leaf springs under the front axle.

4) The rear drive shaft is obviously lengthened and split in two with a u-joint. Even with that, there's some pretty sharp bends in that bad boy.

5) It was indeed a DRW at one time, the rear drums are set back mighty far from the tire.

This bad boy is TALL! He had it backed up to the front of the shop and the top of the bed was ligned up with the main door entrance on the building. So I guess we're talking about the top of the bed being about 7ft tall. I agree with you all that it is overdone, but it sure is interesting to look at.

It's outside of a new bike shop, and he's got the decals on the truck for the company, so he's here to stay. I will try to get around to taking some more pictures of it soon and maybe see if I can find out who this guy is.

There's also a 2000 F250 PowerStroke that's jacked up pretty high that lives right down the street from me. I'm going to have to take some pictures of that one too.
