Re: when has custom gone too far?

This truck is long, not wide, so no reason for wide load signs. I think there are over length vehicle signs, though.

In the late-70s I saw a square body pickup that was stretched to a 12' bed with tandem rear. It was that factory green that's a tad off from Medium Olive Poly and had chrome spoke wheels. It looked great and I thought it was a great idea for a drywall or vinyl siding contractor, a bed made to carry your materials. I also have a friend with a recycled lumber business and another friend is his mechanic/truck driver guy. He took a square body C/30 DRW long frame, stretched it to take a 16' bed for hauling millwork, and added a tag axle. That was a really cool, and useful, truck.
