One for you custom guys...
I thought some of you might enjoy this. It is the first time I have seen this one on-line. Yes, it is a bit extreme, but It's just about right for me...

A first, I thought the arches/bodylines resembled a 69 camaro..... but after looking @ it longer, it looks more along the lines of a toyo tacoma. Nice metalwork though.

Looks nothing like the Ford, I'd be ashamed to have compared our 67-72 body style to the Ford

I kinda like it....why the ford lines though? Hours of crafstmanship though...looks like bare metal and i don't even see a patch of filler
![]() At least it was after the best looking series of Ford trucks ever IMO....if i ever ventrued into Fordland i would be after that series.

I like it real well, but, I thought the exact same ford body line thing when I very first seen the side view. Damned nice woek though.

I think its sweet. Only the rear line looks like the ford, the front is different and I doubt they were doing that to copy the ford. Did you guys also notice the cowl and the cab were welded together? Gonna suck to take those fenders back off. also what they did with the tailgate coming out like that and the diamond taillights. One thing that I don't like is that they completely got rid of the lower body line. Going to be awesome.
