Starting with a regular cab long bed 1/2-ton Custom F-100 4×4, an addition to the cab was created using a reinforced plastic and canvas enclosure placed in the front of the bed. It was physically attached to the rear of the cab. This enclosure housed a full-size bench seat. Upholstery carried a Southwestern motif. Since the seat was anchored to the bed, it sat considerably higher than the driver’s, providing a stadium feel. The sliding rear window of the cab could be opened for ease of passenger communication.
Ingress and egress took place using a passenger-side mounted swimming-pool-style chrome tube ladder. The canvas covering could be opened from either side and rolled up to open the enclosure to take in more of nature’s wonders.
Chrome tubing surrounded the rear window of the cab to offer a grab rail for bed passengers since there was little else to hold onto. It was topped off with Cibie spotlights, graphic stripes, and white spoke wheels.
Nothing ever came of the Vaquero
