Sorryhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cry.gif I guess this is kinda off post. Not sure if I am going to get yelled at... forgive me, I am a truck lover.

International just came out with a class 7 pickup truck.

Something doesn't look correct. There's a huge space between the wheels and rear fender. And the rear fender height doesn't align with the front fender height.

I thought the same thing when I first saw the pictures. It does look strange - almost fake. There are other pictures at the links posted. One is the International link so I don't think it's a trick.

Looks like a Ford Super Duty bed to me.

The reason it looks funny is because it's not a production pickup. Reading the text of the article you will notice that it is a custom built truck using an IHC chassis and aftermarket truck bodies.





Using the chassis built at International's Garland (Tex.) Assembly Plant and pieces from two pickup truck bodies, I-10 International and a local body builder created the extended customized pickup truck.
