PHOTOG/Chase Truck Build.

[Rusty5150]

Well a few months ago I sold me 1994 F350 Flatbed UTV Hauler. I bought a 2002 F350 and have been driving it for a few months. I love it but I want more out of it.

A few weeks back I was rear ended by a lady and it caused very little damage to my truck.

Insurance paid me $2000 for that. I figured this was a good time to start a build on the truck. I found this Stahl Service bed on Craigslist for $650.

The plan is to set this bed up for photo chasing. I will carry some basic tools on the passenger side boxes but for the most part it will be set up as a media chaser.

I want to have the bed color matched to the cab. I found this truck for inspiration.

Sweet Rusty. I just bought a truck from a forum member to build a utility bed truck. Cant wait to see your progress

Today I was able to build a sketchy rack to hold the bed.

Using my camera lights as shop lights I was able to remove the bent bumper and damaged rear panel.

Get some!!!

I have been super busy. I added some LED tail lights today. I installed them vertically so they would fit between the shelf mounts in the cabinet. I plan to install the bed on the truck tomorrow.

Rugged Radios kit showed up today.

Now I can start building my center counsel. Next week my Rigid Industries lights will be here. Things are coming together.

Nice, can't wait to see this all come together. Brilliant idea for a media chase truck

I found a few hours to work on the truck today.

MDF Center Console to hold Rugged Radio system. I really like the cool face plate kit.

I removed the stock dome light assembly. I made some minor modifications with a Dremel and installed an A-Series light in it. The first photo is stock and second pic has A-Series "Cool White" fixture.

Some lights are never bright enough for me. So I took some Rigid Ind A-Series lights and made them fit into my stock dome light housings. They are still powered by the door switch or I can turn them on manually.

I used a Dremel to clearance the stock assemble to fit the new light.

The new setup looks great and has plenty of light now.

I got my lights all wired up. Very happy.

Factory Fog light replacement kit and 4 Dually D2 XL Hyperspots. I went with Hyperspots because when chasing I need to see really far down the road.

You need a winch on the front. I have already winched out 3 goons since I got my latest truck.

Fun looking project, did the rigid dome light wire right up?
