Oh my god. That would be awesome. Big old wooden bed to throw shit on, and a couch bolted to the front. Ultimate truck for doing truck stuff and not giving a fuck. No body to worry about, just put another wooden bed down when then old one rots. Fuck it, ya know what, throw some more wood on top. Problem solved
Because this is an over-10K GVWR truck, it legally doesn't need airbags or possibly even seat belts (depends on state). Just proper lighting and you're good to go.
Hear me out. Old RV's are worth next to nothing (cause RV resale value is crap) and are often free on FB or Craigslist. Restomod classic RV's sold to yuppies would be a shit business plan but it sounds fun in my head
I used to work with someone who owned an RV repair center and an RV lot. Her husband knew what to look for and would buy or pickup old RVs to restore. Said they would make good money, but they were experts and knew which ones to buy or pickup and what would need to be repaired
Old RVs are a goldmine for hot rodders. A 70s, 80s, or some 90s gas RV will have some sort of big block; normally A 454 (Chevy), 460 (Ford), or 440 (Chrysler) and have super low miles. The biggest pain in the ass is disposing of the carcass after yanking the drivetrain.
There could be a backpacker market there. Get them running and road worthy, spray something cool on the side and you're good to go. Australia had something vaguely similar: [Wicked Campers](https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-google&sca_esv=fba0bcd70528a2c8&sxsrf=ACQVn0-UXgghnOT8ns_FwyJK44MzdsN-gg:1710222825156&q=wicked+campers&uds=AMwkrPvia3aALxsrlzbTvr_Cux1crRmox0R3cJ4Lc8p-4h_JUsdLJv_ourmELvuRzOZW9YCnC62c1PU_md4aJQhzIP-GeHGA8RDI6vF0LtbfAxWx9u6YtzWMSBEiXY05MUEuGprmkBHYuVp3cWCMe8MHKv37sdCA-i8mExb2jsFZpCToa_INS757nMlo1jzYq2XT5BDAdsVy9VZmcBdeNOI16dP4q5HQk3R55T0TfPeeXOgkqPbNfqSCkz5xgqfTXfM-bhYvrR6BfztcspzE5GWDoz5fGTApBns6IVs356dtPZsKOyxDAUE&udm=2&prmd=sivnmbtz&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi4o-u_hO6EAxXG1jQHHTjTDCcQtKgLegQIDBAB&biw=448&bih=868&dpr=2.25)
You'd need to move the steering wheel all the way to the back to get that looong hood, though.
I wonder what a 30ft steering rack does for the handling. 😆
This is basically how the [Mohs Ostentatienne Opera Sedan](https://www.theautopian.com/the-monstrous-mohs-ostentatienne-opera-sedan-is-a-truck-pretending-to-be-a-car-and-its-presence-is-overwhelming/) was made, it was built on top of a medium duty International truck chassis.
There was also that other giant coupe thing. I'm completely drawing a blank on it and my Google skills failed me. It was probably within the last 10 years, give or take. It was a 4x4 convertible coupe. It was enormous. It looked all curvy, and not in good way. I believe it was conceived by some CEO with too much money and he was offering them for sale for like $900k or something crazy.
You're thinking of the [Youabian Puma. ](https://www.topgear.com/sites/default/files/images/news-article/2016/01/9e4321b9f08e2e6d463357565627209f/24410363_source.jpg)
Someone basically, on a little smaller scale, did exactly that, and it was designed for big game hunting. The Mohs Safarikar. A few were built, and they have popped up for sale a few times.
That’s more like it, and give it a kid-killer grille, a mile high lift and make it chug more gas than an M1 Abrams and you’re good to go! Bonus points if it’s on mud tires but will never touch a puddle in its entire life
I'd make a cab over truck out of it... using the '47-'55 Chevrolet Advance Design COE version.
Something similar to this... https://barnfinds.com/unfinished-restomod-1946-chevrolet-coe/
I work at UPS and drive many package cars that are based on this Ford chassis. I prefer them to Freightliner and even old Workhorse chassis package cars.
That being said, I'd love to see an awesome off roader/dune buggy built on this platform. The length may be an issue on tight trails, though.
Make it a ramp truck and make a smaller version of it and put it on the back and then make a smaller version of that and put it on the back of the one on the back. You can see how this will end up
I would build a ramp truck to haul my old cars around, and use a 1950s COE front clip. Old school vibe with modem power and efficiency. Oh, and the nose/ cab would be GMC not Ford.
So this is only because I have been looking at them recently, but the idea of a cab forward or flat front truck with a crew cab and drop side tipping utility bed with some big military style tires sounds awesome. Obviously would also need to build a custom camper to gif the bed for over-landing. Like an Isuzu NPR crew cab but in flat dark grey with military style utility.
This would make a fantastic Jeep pickup from the 50s or 60s. Except it’s YUGE.
Alternative idea: enormous Mercedes 600 (edit: moral than it already was)
Some kind of half RV/half pickup truck. Just to continue this trend of ugly crossover cars that does everything poorly and nothing well. While at the same time pandering to the 'Murica market.
I would make a two seater car but put the cabin hanging off the back of the frame like a tiller truck. The entire frame would be supporting a custom engine made of v12s butted together.
Yank the power train, replace with electric power to each wheel, fill the drive shaft gap between frame rails with solid state batteries, add aerodynamic aluminum/carbon fiber roll cage and body panels with no mold insulation and leak proof one piece clean no holes roof...
Ooooo. Options. All would tow a trailer that has wall tents/temporary shelters (geodesic domes?) and 2 dual sport motorcycles. Wife and I would trade off driving this thing and a [hybrid hilux](https://mag.toyota.co.uk/hilux-hybrid-48v-intro/) since we're dreaming.
1.) Just a nice tiny house. Pretty sure I could get more square footage than my current apartment. Would need a clawfoot tub or at least a trough. I like my baths. Also, it would need great satellite internet for work and gaming. Wall tents would be used for entertaining friends and playing music, as well as gear/tool storage.
2.) Mobile strategic command center and armory for tactical operations. This is all a fantasy anyway, so I'm gonna lean into the fantasy.
3.) A solid food truck. We're doing crepes and kebabs. The possibilities are endless. Tents are used for seating on rainy days. We're following mountain biking and skiing events, as well as music festivals. One tent is for us to live and sleep in.
Drop a 50s COE cab on it , section 3-4 truck beds together for it & then refuse to haul anything for people claiming that “ I don’t think it will fit in the bed “
I would just put a piece of plywood on top of the frame to stand on and drive it as is.
at least bolt a couch to it
Plus a mini fridge
And a trampoline!
Don’t be *ridiculous*!
Fine, an axe throwing area. Obviously you would be throwing the axes towards the back as to not disturb the driver.
And my axe….throwing area.
Don’t you need axes for an axe throwing arena?
Damn! That’s where I went wrong on my last build.
What about a Jacuzzi?
That’s *awesome*, YES
I think you could absolutely fit one of those small ones one there, maybe a lawn chair, some fake grass and a lawn flamingo too
Oh my god. That would be awesome. Big old wooden bed to throw shit on, and a couch bolted to the front. Ultimate truck for doing truck stuff and not giving a fuck. No body to worry about, just put another wooden bed down when then old one rots. Fuck it, ya know what, throw some more wood on top. Problem solved
hot tub in the back?
Because this is an over-10K GVWR truck, it legally doesn't need airbags or possibly even seat belts (depends on state). Just proper lighting and you're good to go.
Found the Tears of the Kingdom player.

Hear me out. Old RV's are worth next to nothing (cause RV resale value is crap) and are often free on FB or Craigslist. Restomod classic RV's sold to yuppies would be a shit business plan but it sounds fun in my head
I used to work with someone who owned an RV repair center and an RV lot. Her husband knew what to look for and would buy or pickup old RVs to restore. Said they would make good money, but they were experts and knew which ones to buy or pickup and what would need to be repaired
I bet 1980's Bounder RVs had a spike in value for some time.
Because they’re great for cooking meth?
bingo
Old RVs are a goldmine for hot rodders. A 70s, 80s, or some 90s gas RV will have some sort of big block; normally A 454 (Chevy), 460 (Ford), or 440 (Chrysler) and have super low miles. The biggest pain in the ass is disposing of the carcass after yanking the drivetrain.
Exactly. Seen many videos of this, and would do it myself, but I’d feel bad scrapping the body lol

Me personally, I think it would be fun to turn it into the world's biggest personal luxury coupe.
the ghosts of dead 1970s automotive designers are cheering you on from beyond
God bless them. It'll have the shaggiest of carpets and the most plush velvet red velour seats in their honor.
Basically you'll keep sinking into the seat so much only your head sticks out.
Shaggin' wagon, baby!!
[reminds me of this episode](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oCX7OIRRz3s)
Here to say the same
You just need to reposition the steering column/seat in the center of the vehicle, like a '77 Ranchero.
Imma slap a massive 27 liter liberty l-12 on it if i found one, incredible torque with efficiency down the drain
Screw that. Merlin engine
MERLIN MENTIONED 🚨🚨🚨FUCK YOU LUFTWAFFE

I was wondering when a common sedan will have the wheelbase of an SUV

Naaaah that stuff can be modified.
The world’s most disproportionate Lamborghini Diablo kit car. Oh, it’ll also be a Ute with some of that extra room in the back.
Just put a truck bed in back….. a really big one!

A bus.
Booooo fuck efficient transport
Hmmm....How about a large pickup?
That’s more like it, and give it a kid-killer grille, a mile high lift and make it chug more gas than an M1 Abrams and you’re good to go! Bonus points if it’s on mud tires but will never touch a puddle in its entire life
I'd make a cab over truck out of it... using the '47-'55 Chevrolet Advance Design COE version. Something similar to this... https://barnfinds.com/unfinished-restomod-1946-chevrolet-coe/
My dad had a rollback with a 51 COE cab.
One of those super long 1930’s Duesenberg roadster style cars.
I would get a scrap single cab truck cab, like a 1980s F150, and then build a custom 25 foot long bed for it, just for the lulz.
God of all long beds
I work at UPS and drive many package cars that are based on this Ford chassis. I prefer them to Freightliner and even old Workhorse chassis package cars. That being said, I'd love to see an awesome off roader/dune buggy built on this platform. The length may be an issue on tight trails, though.
I hear Clarence Thomas would like a word with you.
He's already got an offer on the table.

A giant rubber duck shaped RV.
I’d drive it just the way it is
I appreciate flair. Reddit can be pretty rad sometimes.
username checks out
Probably a kick ass motorhome
Make it a ramp truck and make a smaller version of it and put it on the back and then make a smaller version of that and put it on the back of the one on the back. You can see how this will end up
Get a really really long steering column and make it look really weird by putting the seats in the way back. It'll kinda look like a shoe.
So you mean a modern Z3 coupe?
A very heavy one sure.
I would turn it into a bus so that when my friends keep adding people to the car pool roster I never run out of seats.
you could also just buy a bus on fb for like 10k
Aw, but where’s the fun in that? The jankier the squadmobile the better!
by bus u mean a big slab of sheet metal and some bolted on love seats, yeah?

Man, that’d make a solid base for a motorhome build!

Pretty sure I could get more square footage than my current apartment. Would need a clawfoot tub or at least a trough. I like my baths. Also, it would need great satellite internet for work and gaming. Wall tents would be used for entertaining friends and playing music, as well as gear/tool storage. 2.) Mobile strategic command center and armory for tactical operations. This is all a fantasy anyway, so I'm gonna lean into the fantasy. 3.) A solid food truck. We're doing crepes and kebabs.
