What an excellent idea with the mirrors.
Years ago I had an 85 F100 4x4 long wheel base. It was a big lump of a thing but a lot of fun. Mine was running a 351C on straight LPG. I used it to tow my Cobra back from Sydney when I picked it up from CR. The newer ones are definitely a lot more refined.
It was a great tow vehicle and you could throw a heap of stuff in the back. Driving through Sydney peak hour with a tandem trailer on the back was no fun though.
Cheers
