Default F550 work truck and gooseneck trailer

Myself and Monsterbeetleguy have been working on this project for a while.... Ths chassis statred out as tamiya Mercedes benz Rig chassis that now has a F350 body with custom bent work bed on it. We also added lights( will be changed i think) side toolboxes and am looking to get the bed powedercoated. The trailer is a custom built to length gooseneck and has working lights, hitch, and jack. I had a spare tire rack done for it also BUT i think i like it better without it. Has removable ramps that store under the trailer as well...let me know what ya think.... There will be more additions to this truck in the near future

Looks great!!

Whitebone does a nice job on those trailers. Wish I would have gotten a gooseneck for my 350 build!

My guess is packaging tape. I prefer Duct tape myself. Works more better!

the battery was held in like that when i originally picked up the truck LOL now all electonics are under the cab and i think at times i may end up painting the window glass because of all the wires ya can see LOL... Although the turck may get a rewire with just leds instead of the tamiya light kit.....they will be cleaner and brighter

The rig looks good, and so does the trailer

Dude the windows have already been painted!...just not fully so they are tinted more than stock...Was really bad stock...And we've upgraded the packaging tape to electrical tape....I just need to fab him up some aluminum brackets, but the tape works fine...

Very cool truck and trailer. There's a guy over on tamiyaclub that makes clear windows and interiors for the Tamiya F350. I think this would look great with one. I wanted to build something like this for my Hilux but the F350s are a bit out of scale.
