Very cool. I like the split window treatment..
not so sure about the chop, but it looks like it fits..

the extra height bedwalls with the square tube tops are interesting too..

Looks like he put a lot of work into it. I'm not digging the split window treatment. But that's just my personal taste ( or lack of ) .

For some reason with that color and the split windows it's just screaming "school bus" to me.

What's it got under the hood??

Awesome work, good craftsmanship. I like the rear split window for some reason, I probably would not have done the front split. But overall BadArse

He also centered the the wheel opening in the fender, widened rear fenders and a Hemi under the hood (not sure of the year or size of engine)

That looks great I had a 55 F100 custom cab, I put in a 312 t bird eng in it with 3-2 barrel strombergs, 3/4 dempsy 280 cam grind, milled the heads .060, headers, replaced the auto trans with a 3 speed stick, and the truck would do 15s in the 1/4 mile, with some wide low profile wide tires the rebuilt eng lasted 18 years, My Father gave me the truck to use while i was going to high school, I rebuilt the eng at My HS school auto shop, I used the truck for about 3 years, then gave the truck back to my Father, He became a Teenager again when he got into that hot rod truck
