I was wondering if it was a kit you can buy.

Those are some killer kits, I think I may have to talk the wifey out of a jeep project and into one of these.

Pretty neat actually. When I clicked the link, I was expecting it to take me to those goofy little Peterbilt pick-up truck conversions that look really cheesey. You know, those single axle ones with a pick-up box on the back, that have a cab that looks like a Pete. I really don't like those, but these are way nicer. But why a Ford, for the base?

I actually have talked to the manufacturer about getting a Pete kit (a year ago or so). He is in Tennessee. You can read all about it at Lil Big Rig. The reason for the Ford (and it must be an F250, extended cab) is the front axle on the Ford is further forward - giving the Pete the proper look. He is very specific on what years his kit will fit, and they are getting older and cheaper to pick up (pun intended). I have never owned a diesel so I thought this would be a fun project - but finances stopped me from going forward.

I have always said that the first truck manufacturer to make a REAL pickup truck will corner the market, international had that half *** ugly $90k dollar attempt. I'm sick of Ford Chevy n dodge pick ups. Give me a Pete pick up or a Mack, KW, Freightliner. Especially if I can choose my own engine, Cat Cummins, Detroit, or trans combo. Make it reasonably priced to compete with diesel dually Ford Chevy n dodges. I dunno about you guys but I'm pretty sure if Mack made my pick up truck it could handle anything I could ever use it for. What do you guys think?

They had one of these sitting at the Pete dealership in Calgary Alberta a couple years ago. Never seen one actually just out and about though.
