I'm in live with the rear view of this truck.....what is it, and are those stock fenders, just bobbed, or what?

Hard to see in the fuzzy image, but it looks like the fender is cut in half with a 50's front fender grafted on the rear...

.
 
Still hard to tell what they used but looks simple to make.

I took that picture

From what I remember he had bobbed the fenders and the bed and had everything edged with rebar!
 
Whoops

Stand corrected! I took other pics of that truck! At the Rockabilly Hotrod Reunion in Fredricksburg

A couple more great photos

I didn't take these. A pro at the show did. Should help a lot.

Hello Chadly. The cab on this truck is from '42 to '47 Ford, although the back window maybe isn't; looks too tall to me. The front fenders look like maybe from a '39 to '41 big truck, cut down. The guy did a lot of tin work, fitting and welding, and it came out quite well, but IMHO, he never once stepped back a ways and looked at the whole hodge-podge picture.
