parts are parts and people enjoy the art aspect of customizing their vehicles to make them unique and original.
That's what all the lift kits, lowering kits, zebra stripes, grille guards, fancy electronics, LED this and that are all about.
So, the guy did something weird. Considering that it's not a direct bolt-on and there was likely to be a fair amount of metalworking effort to put it together, I can appreciate the "art" and "effort" aspect even though I think it's kind of ugly.
But, it is unique and that by itself is pretty cool.
To me it's less of a waste to do something like that than to turn 'em in during the US Government's "cash for clunkers" program - and you know many, many vehicles that we all love and adore were turned in and made into lamps and exercise equipment.

I kinda like it, it's unique and it looks like they did a decent job making sure the parts fit nice (I have seen Escalade front on a Chevy truck that was done like poo, this is much nicer, at least in the picture).

I didn't get to see the picture (post expired), but I have a good idea of what it looks like. And although it may be a "little" different, you still have to appreciate that man's fabricating skills and hard work. I'm sure it was more than a pain in the *** to get it to fit just right. For being unique, I give that man an A+ on the job, for altering the bronco in a "negative?" way, I give him a D-, averages out to around a C+/B-. Overall I think it is something pretty cool though, I'm not sure if I would be able to do it.
