kind of looks like what ford had back in the '80's: a van that was cut in half, with the rear end being made into a pick up box. it was for people who wanted to pull fifth wheel trailers who needed to haul more than 6 people. ford called it the Cabriolet. it also came with chrome stacks.

the truck is a 1992 f150 cab an 84 front clip and it has a 1981 300 6 cylinder with a four speed and a 3 speed browny so it has 12 speeds instead of 4 the second axle is a drag axle all its for is when my dad goes to pull a heavy load when i get some more pics of it up ill point out a few details on the truck if no one can see em

my dad put a split header on it so when he got it done with the stacks people could tell what kind of engine it had it sounds like a 460 with nothin but headers when he takes the glass packs out and its so lound you cant sit in it but i love how loud it is

and like metal macguyver said it would look a little weird

pickuptrucker my dad wants to do a cummins 4 bt or 6bt maybe if he could find one with all the electrical for it he doesnt want to put a 12 valve in it since its a half ton witch i understand and he has a good idea for a paint sceam on it but doesnt want to start that yet plus doesnt have the funds to

Now i know your dad is old school, LOL spliting the manifold into 3x3, I did a motor up years ago 300/6 built the snot out of it. Give it a quick snap around store windows you could break them. many KUDO;s you and your dad.
