Yes and no. Depends on what was done to the truck when he got it. May have been a chopped cab and a few boxes of parts. Hard to find a semi original one anymore.

Re: custom F100
IMO there's nothing wrong with the roof chop, could be a little lower but it's fine. The body channel job over the frame is ok too. When they channeled it they could have raked the body a little more in the front but it's fine.
Changing the front-to-rear rake/wedge of the body by raising the front fender height/lowering the hood height (pancaking) is kinda ok, but it still gives you a very high front wheel opening (height off the ground) which pretty much ruins the "lowering" effect. Makes it look like a "nose-up" lowered vehicle that's always driving up a hill. A better option to accomplish this effect (IMO) is to take a horizontal pie/wedge cut out of the side of the body (either higher up at the belt line or down low at/above the rocker panel). This method will really give the illusion of slamming the headlights/grill down in the dirt.
The side hinged hood is a little much. The grill is a mess, it would have been 100 times better if they had done something custom modifying the factory grill/headlights. The custom bed & cover isn't too bad when viewed from the side.
But the "tail gate/trunk lid" rear section bastard thingie (that hinges the wrong way to be a tailgate) is a fuukn abortion. And adding Cougar tail lights under that abortion is just an insult.
