1979 Ford F350 Custom Pickup | Mecum Auctions Indianapolis | MotorTrend 

Their pushing it because being a dodge the transmission is probably already burnt out.

The rear axle doesn't line up with the wheel wells.

You'd think they could have figured out how to make the rear axle fit more center in the wheel well.

It’s a Fummins! Beautiful truck.

200,000?!? I should start building these lol

Just saw a boat dealership near me selling one full cab full size possibly f250 instead for 17,000$. Killer deal because it looked almost exactly like this

I LOVE IT!!! SO BEAUTIFUL AND THANKS FOR SHARING!!!

😯😯wow that's crazy $200k for a 2004 Ram F350 .

when the vapor equity in homes goes away like it did in 07 and 08 these prices will drop like a rock...and they will been there done that through different economic cycles

I bet buyer's remorse will set in when he thinks about it later on. It looks compromised on the outside.

It’s called a Fummins……and this is an awesome example.

Somebody put an awful lot of money into it without measuring the wheelbase. Where else did they cut corners?

I was trying to hunt down a 12v the other year. Gave up cuz everybody overpays just like this. But it is a nice truck

Insane

I would totally convert one of these trucks, or one of the 1960s ones, particularly one that has just two tires in the front, as well as two tires in the back, and a long pickup bed, into a retro Excursion-like truck, that is, weld the pickup bed to the cab, add the seats, some more carpeting and interior touches,another row of custom made seats or two in the extended truck bed/new rear section of the custom made SUV, some more electronics, including a nice booming stereo system, a more powerful engine, possibly a good V8 or V10 engine under the hood, maybe even that super good V10 engine that is in the Excursion, make it have a lot of power and torque, as well as useful in a practical sense, but also have a lot of gadgets and features, as well as make it ultra luxury, like beyond HongQi, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Land Rover, Jaguar, Aston-Martin, Morgan, Brabus, Rezvani, or Bugatti luxury levels, and also make it impossible to have rollover as well. Ford totally should have done that with this truck in the 1960s onward to compete with the GMC/Chevrolet Suburban and the International Harvester Travelall, and Chrysler should have also done that with not only their Dodge trucks, but also made them for Fargo, Plymouth, Chrysler, De Soto, and Imperial, and sold all of them in the USA as well, and GMC should have made Buick have an SUV during this time as well that is essentially a badge swap of the GMC/Chevrolet Suburban, but call it the Lucania instead.

Best selling truck in America pretty much my whole life

I say no matter what, the guy who did this is pretty darn smart and talented. He must like to tinker with old vehicles and fix them up. We all should have a hobby! May he inspire you to do something out of the ordinary and make it work!! Great job!

I was at my parents house when that was on, they don't get the drive train & price, nothing I could say justified that "old truck" xoxo

Nice

One of the first things I noticed along with the rear tailgate. Seems a little too spaced.

So it really is a F.O.R.D. ;)

Musta been a phone bidder cause that thing was all kinds of squirrelly at the back end...wow

Ya takes alot $$ to build a truck proper! That huge $$ for build!

A waste of a perfectly good ford body.

cool

For $200,000 id expect to have that rear axle line up with the wheel wells....I mean how much more work would it have been to stretch the frame another 6" or less there??

Chevy but with a Mopar cam is good too.

I want it

Wow

Call it a Fudge!!

A Ford and a Dodge combined. What would you call it? Would it be a Forge?

Some would call that sacrilege.

Shoot had I known Trucks can sell for that much I would’ve went through with building an old 1950s Ford F5 and tossing it on a 1994 Dodge 1 ton chassis with the old 12 valve 5.9

More money than brains, but as soon as I win the lottery I'll be doing the same!!

They should have kept the original frame, axles, suspension, etc. and put a 7.3L IDI in it.

Who built this?

I agree I feel sorry for the person about it

Would’ve been better on a newer 4th 2014+ Ram chassis.

Great, first it was the Chevy OBS trucks now it’s Fords.

i hate to say it because I'm a ford guy but it gives the name f over rebuilt dodge comments come true lol

Commentator’s really over selling this one eh lol

Why?

Would have been better on super duty frame and axels

I guessed $84,500. A forrd ...doodge...a ...Forge

Frodge F2500: Built Ford Tough with Chrysler stuff

F o r d g e

Someone just spent $200k on trans ⚧ truck. The world really is going insane.

they didn't even center the rear axle

It's nice but 200k nice geesh

It's a FODGE!

Cool truck. But way to much

Interesting combo. $200000 interesting? Maybe not. 😕😕😕

Go through all that, and it's not a manual......

commercials suck these commercials are starting to suck all channels have too many commercials we don't need any more commercials.

It's not even a 12 valve and that transmission is likely not a good option. This truck looks poorly done to me 210,000 ridiculous.

It's a forge

Have people lost their minds?

I have question is the ford fummmins diesel if it is a gas nope thanks 🤔🤔

“Fordge F-3500”

That's crazy. That thing isn't worth more than $25,000-30,000

What do you call it the commentator says.......I'd call it a fordged.

American homologation.

$200k what the heck!? i would spend that amount of money for that grey Ferrari behind it, not for a truck!

I'd rather have my ORIGINAL 79 Ford Bronco!

It's a Fodge, or a Dord.

I guess if you can pay that much for it you can afford 7 dollar diesel

Forge custom

Somebody's got more money than sense....

Need a longer drive shaft.

Probably $180000 more than it's actually worth but who cares it's just money right!

How ridiculous!😢😢.could've stretched frame 4 inch for that time and money

I would keep it on the og frame instead of doing the junkins swap running gear keep it og nice 557 big block and a good old 4 speed

Fummins!

They lost me at “dodge transmission”

Taylor Ray would love this truck. He put a Cummins in a Ford F-350 dually.

Wouldn't give a thousand dollars for that

Just another Frankenstein.. WAY to much !! Peace

Built Ford tough with dodge stuff

If you would’ve actually done your research before you automatically assumed something and criticized it then you would know that this model of 1979 Fords actually come like this original from factory. They’re about two inches closer in the rear wheel making then originally off centered.

This truck is called the Fordge

There's lots of money out there, spent in way stupider ways!

As a Chevy man I don’t like ford but why put a beautiful truck on a garbage chassis. Ha

Fododge

This is out of control

I call B.S. probably just friends bidding it up to get exposure. With such a bad installation of the running gear not being on center with the body is a deal killer for me.

D0RF

You know every sense mecum Auction started he has definitely Found these rich guys that Completely stunds me with their Stupidity And that is why us average Joe's got a scrape to get up the money because you're auction house just threw the prices of these cars and trucks ridiculously out of sight...peace out

Waste of good sheet metal

Rear axle is like 4" off 🤦

I can't wait until the day I'm rich enough to be that stupid.

🤣

I'll pass....

I’m a die hard Ford man and I would never drive that thing it’s a dodge not a Ford all it is the sheet metal not even the original frame

It’s not even an all original low mileage vehicle wtf Way to much $$$$

Lol what a waste of money, not because the truck is bad, it is pretty cool, but not for $200,000.

Trash Waste of a great truck body

2004 dodge 200000lol

Stupid money,

Why disrespect a ford with a dodge motor🤦🏻‍♂️

That’s a terrible build . I got a hog in a dress ! Wanna see
