Tried to google search the image to find a build thread.
Owned by Robert Biglow (rbiglow25) on Pinterest. This is all I found.

1953 Ford F100 Bagged. Suicide doors and stretched rear fenders. 24x15" Raceline Smuggler wheels. 5.0 Coyote Swap. custom inner fenders

So, I noticed the banner in the background and looked up the shop. You could contact Nickell's Customs in Lodi, CA. They may know the status of the truck as they were building it. They even have progress pictures of it on their website (but last one is from July 2016). 209-323-0090











Finally got the 24"x15" race line wheels. Waited four months but worth the wait.


Got the bed floor stamped out. All done with 18 gauge steel.










We suicided the doors on the ford.


Finished stretching the fenders and running boards. Baby sits right on the ground.




Progress on ford. We have some 24"x15" custom wheels getting made for rear were going to lower lip on rear fenders and we lowered rear window 3 1/2" to make it bigger.










Starting to chop up bed for 53 truck. Going to build A raised floor in it and put 24 x 15" wheels with a 10" lip. Should look pretty sick

Going to be one awesome looking trucks when it's done!

I dont like the little tube that the air bag is resting on though. I would have definitely done that differently.

I really like the back window idea and some of the pics at least give an idea of what it's effect will be . Hopefully we will be able to see the finished product .

Looking at it I think they may have taken too much out of the back window for my taste. I'd like to see the truck when it is done too though. Should look pretty good overall ..

Yes I agree John I just taped mine with 2" tape and that looks about right for me as I am raising the top edge of the box a little also .

Was curious what seats they will use with the lower rear window. My top is chopped, but the mopar split bench sits a bit lower than the stock.
