Looks like a Japanese Pogo Stick.
I say fill the tank, fill the bed with all the wood it will hold and have a neighborhood weenie roast. "CAUTION NOTE": wait for the first "POP" to roast the weenies.

Worst part about this truck is that it wasn't built by the guy in the driver's seat. He had just bought it and was proud as hell that I was taking pictures of it. Poor bas-tard.
I didn't go into detail with him why he should park the truck until he can remove the ridiculous "suspension" because I believe in "Natural Selection".

I'll bet that thing is actually a pretty solid mud truck with the front drive shaft connected, and some other parts added. It's not something I'd drive, but I certainly won't rip on it.
It looks like he's fabricated a custom 4-link setup and done a SAS swap with a coil-over front and massive leaf-sprung rear. I'll bet he's running a Dana 44 or something smaller like that up front, but with something that light, thats all you'd need.
Looks like he's got it finished off with a nice set of shorter, but very wide swamper boggers. I'd guess something in the area of 33x14.50xwhatever. He's missing a few parts, but he's probably 85%-95% done with the truck.
It's unpopular but:

I'll bet this truck would embarrass 99% of the Super Duty's on this forum in an off off road setting.

are you kidding, look at the arc the front axle will travel as it compresses, check out the the pitmen arm, it looks like it is 3pcs welded together, and i know it is abvious, but check out the arc on the rear leaf packs,c'mon, that thing is a joke, nice truck in your book, that thing needs some serious engineering so that if functions as intended

That is NOT a 4-link front suspension. It's a 2-link with nothing to prevent lateral movement. The front shocks appear to be coil-overs with dual springs and remote reserviors. Here are examples of 4-link suspensions.
