hi guys, just wanted too show everyone how it all started with my f350. i bought it in 1990 as a long wheel base flat bed i then shortend it by 27inches and built
it as a tow truck { a wrecker truck} i run it as a tow truck for about 10 years or so then i got back into kustom painting. so i pulled it down sold the wrecker back
built it up as a well body in australia we never got them as a well body, so a made well body fenders out of fiberglass. that all went well as a shop truck for
8 years or so then it started with a engine rebuild and it got totaly stripped and four or so years later the end product well almost just going to ladder bar the
rear end some retrim the seat and its back to being my shop truck..

As stated before...love the truck.

But hey...your steering wheels on the wrong side LOL!

How many ponies you figure your pushing out of the Cleveland?

thanks guys for all the comments. well basketcase the steering wheel could be on the wrong side but i sill think it look ok from behind the wheel as you can see. as for as hp well dont know i,m happy to have heaps of torque and to be able to turn them wheels even if its just the one side.. still turning two wheels

Very nice. I had to look at the photos to figure out what a "well body" was. Over here, it's referred to as a "dually."

I've always appreciated the Australians. We're two nations made up of England's rejects.
