Ok, LonghornMan and I went to Chicago yesterday to pick up this truck.

It is a factory conversion. And as far as we(anyone we know) no other dealer conversion has this same 3rd door.

When i bought this truck the original owners widow told the board member i bought it from that her husband ordered it new. They had 3 small boys and needed to haul them. And wanted to haul a slide in camper. Along with what you see in the original pic there was also a step bumper on the back that hung out 2 1/2 feet. With a hitch. Real weird.
Had 3 gastanks so they could drive into the mountains and not worry about fuel.
When originally ordered it took 6 months to take delivery according to the widow.

It was originally a 3/4 ton truck from Nevada. The last pic shows it factory. I changed the suspension over to 1/2 ton.

I originally bought this truck some 4 or 5 years ago. Actually SOLD it due to unforseen circumstances 3 years ago. But just bought it back from the board member i sold it to. As he also was unable to work on it. It sat untouched since i sold it to him.

He was gracious enough to sell it back to me.

Let me know what you think.

I am sure Andy will chime in later tonight with roadtrip pics.
