Wellllllll, being you brought it up. LOL Mine isn't for sale but here's mine made from my dads 55 F-100 that he bought in 1966 and immediately put a Buick 364 in it. When my brother restored it (with the Buick) he replaced the bed and frame. It was sitting out back and I got to looking at it and in just a few hours it was a trailer. I bought (or did I make it, I don't remember) a dropped axle for it with spindles bolted to run the same wheels my dad had on the truck when I drove it to highschool in the seventies.

So my brother and I both have half the old truck we both learned to drive in. I really need to do a quick restoration on it. In the mean time I am enjoying it as is.
