Cool eye candy, but not very practical for off road use and probably has never been in a hard core situation. Good thing. Just some rich guy in his last hour trying to use up his kids inheritance. The problem I see is the choice of a Ford chassis for this project. Why? The Ford frames of this era were very flexible and like Jeep CJ's they became part of the suspension. It's not a bad idea except when you put a rigid fiberglass camper box hard onto that frame. If you don't have a 3-point or 4-point floating frame connection, the twisting will over time pull the plastic box apart. The first thing I would do is look at EVERY frame to box connections to see if there is any damage. If they would have thought to use a Dodge or Chevy chassis, the flex is minimal by comparison and negates the use of a floating or spring loaded frame except the very largest and longest camper boxes. Another woe I see is the use of t.cases in the vertical position to get to both powered rear axles. How's that oiling working for you? The shear factor and clearance could be a nuisance. One thing you need for hard-coring a 6X6 is good articulation, like the use of a walking beam suspension on the tandem rears. I don't see that articulation in this one.
I've built up what I want into my 11th hour but still enjoy eye candy when I see it. jefe
