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.

yeah ive seen them they look pretty good

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

Certainly interesting...why stacks with a 300/6 though??

metalmacguyver · Apr 23, 2009

Because no stacks on a truck like that would just be weird.

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

Looks good, and x2 on the stacks. It definitely looks good with them.

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.
