it does have a 460 and a 5 speed. Probably solid being a texas truck.

The (im guesssing) homemade tandem axle, 70's box truck combined with down in the holler rear door reminds me of something you'd see a old moonshiner living in in TN.

@Jim Oaks should buy this and put a D60 and a transfer case under it and use it as an overlander.

1100 or trade lol.

Just posted it for the oddness of it.

EDIT....

Just noticed the bullnose sitting next to it with a similar treatment

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.

Kind of reminds me of those wagons sheep herders move around with their flocks.

I've seen factory slide in campers with tag axles, nothing about this thing is factory though.

Bulldoze looks like a Bronco which is interesting.

Did you notice the Bronco with the homemade camper sitting next to it? I guess that's the guest house.

I would think an oil field rig most like would be 4wd wouldnt it? I really cant think of a real use besides someone with a lot of time and a pile of stuff laying around and saying why not

I didn't catch that. Rear end is way too short to even be a short bed F150
The scariest thing about it is that it not squatting a bit...
