    Appel built beach bobber limo.

    Heres a couple pics of a truck my son just bobbed for a guy.I sold him the USMC 5 ton.He bought it to haul people on the beach.Once he got it to Fenwick Island,DE. ,they said no 6x6s on the beach.So he paid my son to remove the bed and make it a 4x4.It turned out pretty good.
