Then I found this one, and was surprised because I know this truck. It's home is in my home town of Mayfield Village, Ohio. This guy has built several of these over the years.
Edit - I was incorrect. This guy is friends with a guy in that town that has a truck similar to this. They are often together.

Wild! I just passed that very truck this weekend but was on the bike and couldn't grab a photo of it.
Yep, on 19 just North of Zelienople.

I like the ford on the deuce and a half, and special props to that guy for going to the family truckster school of styling

My first thought about the 6x6 chassis was not a duece and half but rather a cement/dump truck...

This is probably more accurate.

Knew a guy, that did move to Ohio, that took an 80's F350 dually added a deuce and a half transmission behind a CAT C7 firetruck rating. Completely boxed in the frame, etc. Was a pretty slick truck.
Don't be standing next to it when he beeps that horn.

Those are puny. A contractor here has two sets of train horns (those + 1 larger horn) bolted in the belly of his F250.
Honk it a block away and your ears burst into flames.

Yeah, concrete trucks tens to have wide singles like that for better floatation.
I just saw a truck in Decatur Illinois that was an old dodge on a ladder frame with tractor tires; think Bigfoot with a license plate. Sorry no pictures I was driving and my wife was going " no, that way". You know.
