Its at a weird dealership that only focuses on 20+ year old cars in driver stage. Couple square bodies, and old hardcopy, even a mint yota solid axle and 2nd Gen Cameron. No prices listed though.
I would love to build a pickup out of that and put a big dumb turbo diesel in it. I’ve seen some built with 11 foot dually beds1974 F700 with marmon Harrington 4wd conversion in pretty damn good shape.

You don’t like the DRW fenders in back and the MDT front together? As in, with your two suburbans, you like the second one better than the first?The blue dent got one important thing right. Make the rear fenders match. That's the biggest thing I don't like about most of the medium duty builds.
I tried to find two similar builds to show what I mean.
I have so many builds rattling around in my head and one of these is in it. Right after my 60-66 medium duty. Stock long grain truck style frame, crew cab long bed, 8.3 Cummins, 6spd eaton, m923 transfer case, FMTV meritor axles with eco hubs, 385\65R22.5's on 22.5x12.25 alcoas. Not that I've thought about this a bunch or anything.....
Correct. The stock pickup dually fenders cover the tires fine but to me they look out of place with the medium duty fronts. I'm not going to call the stock dually fenders ugly or anything like that and there are a ton of builds that look really nice that use them. They are available off the shelf and fit the beds so I know why people use them but it almost looks to me like using the wrong bed on a normal truck, like you have a bullnose ford with a superduty bed on it.
And I think that thing looks killer! I like that way better than this. I’m not sure what those rear fenders are but I’m out.Correct.

I plan on making fender flares out of the 60-66 medium duty fenders for my 63 GMC to keep it looking somewhat factory but with room for the bigger tires while not needing to sit 3ft off the ground.
Good looking truck but the fender mismatch bothers my OCD.
Do it then…Spare tire cut out in the fender needs adjusted for 37’s
neat but not $400k cool.
Exactlyneat but not $400k cool.
You could put 4x4 MDT donor parts under a well build schoolie toter 4.5x over for that price.neat but not $400k cool.
In that budget, a Toterhome and a 4 runner in the trailer with roof top tent for overlanding duty is probably operating within a couple MPGs of that 550 too.
right, you could; but my solution was 4x less ghetto (plus instant gratification; the only tool you have to use is your wallet).
Fine then, bluebird wanderlodge and car hauler trailer.right, but my solution was 4x less ghetto (plus instant gratification; the only tool you have to use is your wallet).
i mean, let's be honest; even if you build your skoolie for $80k ($400k/4.5x over claim) Are you or I ever really going to enjoy wheeling our $80-100k high-COG overlander anywhere you actually need 4wd to get to???
A nice 8.3 Cummins
