C'mon guys! Those aren't Ford body lines. Those are just some dang cool styling lines. Did y'all take a minute to notice it's going to have flush fit glass? How about the way the bed snugs up against the cab? Or the front of the hood that is laid back farther to match the slope of the windshield.
I could go on, and on, and I know I would miss something. Give these guys credit for thinking outside the box. I will admit that some of it may be waaaay outside the box, but you won't loose it in the parking lot next to all the other red short wide 67's with torque thrust wheels.... |

Preach on brotha! That is the kind of truck that will get a lot of magazine coverage. Can't wait to see it finished.
I did notice that the hood was layed back and the drip rail is obviously shaved. Doesn't the tailgate look like it is split down the middle (vertically).... maybe opens like barn doors??? I'd also like to tuck my bed in closer to the cab..... looks better.

I'm not sure if the top of the cab is stretched, or it just looks that way because of what they have done with the bed. It appears that the bottom of the cab is recessed, and the bed moved forward, but it's hard to tell without a side view.
The tailgate is peaked, not split. They created a body line up the middle of it. Im not too sure how that is going to play out, but it looks pretty cool so far....

They're both sweet, that custom Chevy and that wicked 66 Ford. I have always loved that Ford body style

I really love the new lines. Smooth and light barely noticeable and not overbearing or taking from the original design. I would like to see how they end up painting it though.

I love that flush glass effect - the cab has some "Trader Tims 72" looks.

The top has a totally new shape. It's subtle but different. Look how the body line comes off the A pillar and goes around the back. I think the B pillar looks a bit thicker but that could be from the removal of the drip rail. To me it looks like the windshield has been leaned back a little. The upper door frame would be shorter than this one is. This leads me to think the cab has a slight stretch. I hate that my pics loose resolution when I resize them.
