I haven't seen that one before, but I haven't been down to Parker in a while. An old neighborhood friend rolls around in a white MegaRaptor in South A-town.
As much as I love my 01 Ex, these modern ones are every bit better than my rig. Now I want one.
7.3, and you knocked up the new girl?
Badass rig there!
Is it originally a 2015 truck that they converted to an excursion? Or an original Excursion body refitted with all 2015 stuff?
I wonder if they could build a regular cab short bed 6.7L F250? I saw one of those "Earnhardt Built" versions in the Harley Davidson trim and it was ridiculously cool looking. The proportions were just right and it reminded me of a Lightning with the stance they had setup.
Either way this guy seems to have the conversion process down. The interior and exterior sheetmetal work is insanely good.
So from what im reading, to take a brand new(2016) truck is $49k plus the cost of the truck?
Yes, it's a 2015 F-350 that they cut the bed off of and retrofitted with an Excursion rear shell.
I don't think they can do that. They don't touch the frame on any of their vehicles, just the body.
you are mistaken, to do the conversion they have to section and shorten the truck frame so it has the same dimensions to fit an excursion body. It is alot more involved than simply swapping the bed for the excursion rear body.
Excursion has a much shorter wheelbase than a f250/350 and thus they have different frames.
Nice. I like it

The 6.7L is better than the 7.3L in every way imaginable.

You are correct. I was mistaken.
I wonder why they told me they couldn't/wouldn't do a 4 door Excursion on a long bed platform then? I would've love to have the extra 1'1/4" for storage...or spread out for leg room.
Interesting. So is it an existing Excursion rear shell then? I can't imagine they're building it from scratch, but ya never know. If its an existing one, its kinda sad to know they're chopping up good Excursions, but at least it's for a good purpose. I'd think retrofitting everything into/onto the whole Excursion body would be easier than mating a 15+ truck with a Ex back half, I'm no expert though.
Either way, badass rig for sure!
They buy the shell from SW Insurance companies.

Most don't realize how little damage it takes to total a 15 year old truck. A light hit on the front axle is enough to tweek the frame and total out the truck.
I can’t wait to see the transformation! So far it looks pretty good as is.

I'm really getting torn. I didn't want to spend a ton of money on this thing ...but the more I think about it, I can't just drive a 'regular' looking truck. It's a sad first world problem when a 1 of 4XX truck is considered 'regular'; I've ruined myself.

That thing is BAD ASS Nick.
I know this isnt your style, but I'd leave it 100% factory stock looking down to the tires. The originality is in the conversion itself!
Sick machine right here that's for sure.
I'd absolutely 100% be a player if Ford made one--Or GM, or Dodge for that matter.
We have a 2002 3/4 Suburban that i will likely never part with. I LOVE it.
