Here's something different! This is an article I came across on a 300TD pickup truck for sale!

Take a look!

..I also have a 427 Cobra replica with an aluminum chassis.

This one was at a show in OC last year. A real quality job. It was built as a flower car for a funeral home, likely by one of the same coachworks companies that do limos and hearses.

Looking for a paint color suggestion for my 240D with Palimono MB-Tex interior!

Does it have working SLS? That would be awesome!

I'd love this truck with a 617.952 + 5-speed .

That is pretty cool! It looks remarkably like an El Camino!

Looks more like a Brat to me.

I do have to say, a truck with a 617 and a 5 speed has proven to be quite useful.

It clearly has some el camino parts in the rear.

man they did quite a beautiful job on that 123 chassis 300TD, its so seamless.

Im less of a fan of the 210 wagon, looks like a nice job, but it doesnt have the lines the 123 does on the interaction between the cab and bed.

Ive been thinking about doing something like this for a while with my 240, this is making me even more excited about it.

I hope someone buys that and takes it to a meet or is a member here, would love to see it in more depth

Stretching the wheel base helps keep proportions correct though I'd square off the rear section of the rear doors.
