I talk to a lot of people over in the US & none of the F guys had ever seen one of those. Closest I have seen was one on a 48 F1 but it was another brand.

Thats what got my attention when I first saw that truck. Obviously Mr & Mrs Hev liked it also... :wave:

Here's one made out of weatherboards. Must be a Queenslander!

I took a photo of this one out the back of an auto museum in Alberta, Canada.Image

Built a couple myself. Still believe no one has made a 53/5 look good so that would be my next custom truck project.

Now this is probably going to sound f*ckin stupid -- so feel free to laugh at me - but l just had an image of this beast being entirely chrome plated ..... Wonder if it's ever been done before, or would even be allowed.

I’d call it the "Chrome Dome" sure would be a lot of bling!!
