I saw this interesting truck posted on the squarebody Japan page. At first I thought it was photoshop, but it appears the owner somehow grafted a round eye front hood edge onto to a slope nose hood and made the round eye radiator support mount between the slope nose fenders. Obviously Front clip swaps have been done for years, but this is not a front clip swap, it is a front clip fusion. Kudos to the body work master that created this confusing but neat masterpiece.
