that is just plain fugly , i'd sell it and leave town too..... :lol: notice how he covered the plate so nobody could find out who he is that way? :lol:
theres a 4by around here that has the box bobbed sorta like that but at least it makes sense to lose the overhang on a trail rig

i love the spoiler,i wonder if its an old tony hawk skateboard like the one hanging in my garage .. :thup: ...if it is i'm sure it adds alot of totally gnarly aerodynamic awesomeness to that wide open pickup box dude!

the lightening holes in the cowl would make cleaning pine needles and leaves out of the cowl a breeze,i'm sure that they are a huge problem in the desert

i'm really saddened that i can't see the interior so i could see if the "high back bucket seats" are as heinous as the rest of the truck.......maybe some nasty 6 way powered velour seats (not wired in of course) out of a mid 70's t-bird like in the 67 f350 i used to have...yeah 8)

i'd buy it for parts .....the wheels would look good on my ol' pig .....

Actually the holes in the cowl are to let air into the engine bay. The pressure on top of the hood and the windshield is positive. Normally you would duct it into the intake. Kind of a cowl induction deal.

The bed looks like a nice photo shop job. The length between the cab and wheels is much longer than even the rare 9' bed.

He/she did obtain the short bed he/she desired. However it looks like crap!! The holes in the firewall/cowl area are just as strange as the holes he/she did on the hood. Look at hood, notice different holes then cowl.
Someone please take the hole-saw away from him/her. :x
On another note, the truck has a nice color to it. I too would like to see the interior of this........truck
