Possibly the only OBS Ford in the country with a seat setup like this lol

I was so concerned with whether or not I could, that I never stopped to think if I should. I should've, it was so worth it
msalerno1965@reddit
Where is this parked? Asking for a friend...
TheLimaAddict@reddit (OP)
Currently back in my shop because I have to replace the turbo :')
Rowdyflyer1903@reddit
That's the way you do it! That is a camping fishing traveler's rig buddy!
brownutts67@reddit
Could you show the exterior?
TheLimaAddict@reddit (OP)
Its just a regular dually on the outside, 408k miles of loyalty!
SensualBeefLoaf@reddit
shit that thing is like 130 feet long.
TheLimaAddict@reddit (OP)
Hahaha yeah those CCLB Fords are not small. When my Mustang blew the auto trans I had to daily drive that thing while I did the manual swap and I definitely got well acquainted with it
SensualBeefLoaf@reddit
i daily a tacoma and those have the turning radius of limo. what’s the turning radius of a cclb ford? it’s got to be hilarious to daily. good news though, you’re already slilled at driving limos should your current employ not work out.
TheLimaAddict@reddit (OP)
Lets just say if I have to turn around, it's gonna be a 3 point turn even if I use the whole intersection lol. When I park in mosts parking lots I'm usually almost as wide as the space and longer than it by about 3 feet.
Compared to it, the Tacomas I've driven are like sports cars lol
SensualBeefLoaf@reddit
that sound like a hilarious pain in the ass to DD.
mahdicktoobig@reddit
You did this? Or is this a centurion thing or something? I feel like the “headliner rack” thing was in those too.
TheLimaAddict@reddit (OP)
You could get the fold-flat bench in the rear from conversion companies (my truck was from Show Trucks USA) but they never offered two in the same car or at least nobody ever ordered them that way. It is a tiiiiight fit, the rear bench has just enough room to lay flat
mahdicktoobig@reddit
That’s cool as hell man. Bad ass hunting truck if that’s your main use. They probably tried 2 in the same truck once and caught just as much hell getting it to work as you did. They just said “not possible” lol
Idk what to do with my bench seat. I have a Mexican blanket on mine too. Single cab tho. I was looking at these seat covers that are apparently big on Hawaiian rigs. Might interest you too. link
99ford@reddit
Oh id be hunting in this truck, just not for deer if ya know what I mean. 🤣
mahdicktoobig@reddit
No?
99ford@reddit
Girls. To sleep with. In the cab bed. It was a lame joke, I know.
FesteringNeonDistrac@reddit
WetOkole seat covers are 100% worth the money.
If you don't know, Okole is the Hawaiian word for butt or butthole depending on context.
strongsilenttypos@reddit
Better a wet butthole than a loose butthole
mahdicktoobig@reddit
I prefer the latter.
soedesh1@reddit
Depends.
mahdicktoobig@reddit
I love butts! Perfect!
mini4x@reddit
Years ago my brother used to work at a custom truck / van shop I've see a few of these back in the 80's. First one I ever saw blew my mind.
mahdicktoobig@reddit
They go for like $20-30k last I checked. I’m sure it’s more, that was at least 5 years ago.
marko_kyle@reddit
That's awesome
LigmaLefty2@reddit
I kinda wanna do this with my dakota, anyone know of any ideas on how to start a project like that?
CheapAspect7199@reddit
If you don't mind me asking how tall are you?
TheLimaAddict@reddit (OP)
5'11, even under the wheel I fit pretty decent
CosmicTheLawless@reddit
Why don't you sleep/lay on the side that doesn't have the steering wheel lol
TheLimaAddict@reddit (OP)
That's just to show how much space the least comfortable position would have
chandleya@reddit
lol I like the outcome but I’m convinced this is one ridiculously smelly pod.
TheLimaAddict@reddit (OP)
She reeks of diesel exhaust inside, I need a shift boot badly 😩
Character-Welder3929@reddit
Omg you just put anything over the hole even a big rag or cloth is better than inhaling fumes straight through the cabin
The window being open unfortunately also creates more fumes
Block the cunt off like today
TheLimaAddict@reddit (OP)
It's not really that bad, I exaggerate lol. Usually that tan towel is wrapped around the shifter and it keeps enough pressure on the boot to keep everything out
Flabbergasted_____@reddit
Smoke a joint in it, spray some Ozium, good to go.
Ethereal_Keeper@reddit
As cool as this is I gotta do it to you, “of course with a ford it’d come with a bed, so you can wait on a tow truck in comfort” /s
GTSW1FT@reddit
Despite my personal hate of America pickups. This is cool as hell, heck if I remember correctly I think some Kei vans could do this.
SensualBeefLoaf@reddit
yah. a lot of them do. a friend has an acty van that does this. but my 6’5 ass ain’t sleeping in it. partially because i can’t functionally sit anywhere in the van.
SensualBeefLoaf@reddit
needs velour seat covers and a mirrored headliner
trailrun1980@reddit
So much room for activities!
midnightstreetlamps@reddit
That looks like it would make a fantastic camping truck, without the big bulky camper insert.
dacomputernerd@reddit
This is so awesome! And it’s a manual too. ❤️
SoFlaNative420@reddit
What an absolute rig.
Character-Welder3929@reddit
Mate that's the best fucking shit ever, if I could I would
StfuYourMouse@reddit
I’ve actually seen this before. It was an obs f150 with a rear seat out of some kind of conversion van. Normal bench seat and then laid flat like a bed. Awesome idea
Muad_Dib_of_Arrakis@reddit
Thats so cool
1leggeddog@reddit
Actually cool!
bikerider138@reddit
Cool overhead console 👍
Mutjny@reddit
Hotshot Hotel
Kevvo16@reddit
Bitches.
SumScrewz@reddit
how does it look once all folded back up?
TheLimaAddict@reddit (OP)
Excuse my mess lol
TheLimaAddict@reddit (OP)
For whatever reason, it won't post the picture with the comment..
SumScrewz@reddit
i see it its nice man!
C-C-X-V-I@reddit
I've seen a couple swaps like that, both are centurion seats right?
TheLimaAddict@reddit (OP)
Centurion was the most popular but many outfitters did these seats. My truck was done by Show Trucks USA and the truck I got the front bench from was done by a smaller company out of San Antonio
Nickelsass@reddit
And a manual, such love
strongsilenttypos@reddit
Probably a 7.3 international
TheLimaAddict@reddit (OP)
Yup, 7.3 Powerstroke and an IDI 7.3 trans
zMadMechanic@reddit
Perfection incarnate!
nochinzilch@reddit
This guy fucks.
capnfys@reddit
I’d live in that fucker.
Sufficient-Ad-8441@reddit
…down by the river
imfirealarmman@reddit
I’m not gonna lie, I’m more of a Chevy truck guy, but this is incredible
Spike_Spiegel@reddit
slowwburnn@reddit
The jealousy that I am feeling could fill buckets. Nice work
manualsquid@reddit
Same! This is the dream right here!
dasmineman@reddit
I wish I'd had this when I was hotshotting.
XxJabba666xX@reddit
I have that exact purple blanket thing lol
HotRodHomebody@reddit
'had an Aerostar van, second and third rows folded flat to make a bed. Most comfortable sleep while camping everrrrrr.
Elpardua@reddit
Cool. Get some E-Series tilting steering wheel so you can have a bedside table :)
gettylee@reddit
2 long beds 1 truck
ima-bigdeal@reddit
Very nice!
Notchersfireroad@reddit
That is legit queen size bed space!
Shawndollars@reddit
Beautiful
thenewjerk@reddit
Fuckin sick. Get some dogs and go camping.
