Its an F-350. Its definately a custom job



I saw him doing some Ford commercials, so he must be getting sponsored BIG TIME.

Looks like another dodge knock off. One off dodges concept rams is similar, came out about 2 years ago. Saw a pic somewhere.

Yep that's the one. I like the suicide doors. The glass gives you an unobstructed view out of them. Don't know if I like the 19" tires tho. They would probably be pretty big in price. Thanks for the info.

If this comes to pass, I don't think the tire prices would matter. The old adage if you have to ask you can't afford it comes to mind. But then from what I read, GM is going to have no trouble selling the H2. Somebody must be gainfully employed.

 

[WDaniels]

The brain read 22" tires but the fingers typed 19". Just goes to show that you don't always have control of all of your pieces and parts.

You would need that extra 3" of tire to handle the snow up there. :-laf :-laf :-laf :-laf

Tardog,

Normally we have snow but this year it's snowed only once 6 weeks ago then promptly almost all melted. Right now it's 36+ degrees. Normally at this time of the year we are at least -30 degrees below zero. AND I LOVE IT! Am getting tired of the cold and snow.

I got tired of it to, grew up with it in northen BC, now I live in Victoria. One of the few places I know of above the 49th that you can mow your lawn in shorts in February, Cheers

What they don't tell ya....

The wife loves trucks and realy loves Country music. Yep, she's one in a million. She was tellin me the other day that she saw an interview with Tobey Kieth, and they asked him about the truck.

Tobey said Ford loaned it to him for his video, it cost in excess of $1,000,000 to build. Yup, thats 7 zeros. But for what ever stupid reason it only has a 3 gallon gas tank and top speed is 15 MPH. Yup, no zeros there!

Either they put a govorner on the thing to keep other maniacs from tearin it up, or that was the best Ford could do with the concept design. Go figure!#ad


Shoulda put a Cummins in it! #ad

Tardog, you may be talking about the Maxx Cab concept... I wasn't fond of it either.

Haven't seen that one, new to me. The one I'm talking about was featured front page of Popular Mechanics? Sounds like the one Nickleinonen is talking about. It was a silver Bad Ass looking truck.

F-O-R-D is a four letter word, no matter what color or tire size

Oh yeah... the POWER WAGON! Lord knows I'd like to have *that* truck!



I fell head over heels for that vehicle the first time I saw it. C'mon Dodge, BUILD IT!

This truck was at the 2002 auto shows as Ford's concept "Tonka Truck"... . Only something that looks like a CTD could be Tonka tough though... .

I know all you boys had your share of Tonka trucks... . What else would explain your obsession?
