Little bit cool. Little bit gross. I think it would look better without the corner windows.

Maybe a short box would help.

i can appreciate the time/effort that went into it…but the proportions are off and it just doesn't flow, imho.

I remember Steve at Averre's in Longview Washington used to have a car carrier he made out of a single cab. Way ahead of its time. Had a quick search and found this one. Proportions are great.

Don't ever try to do a U turn, hell even a three point turn would take an entire parking lot!
As for gross...Not really my cup of tea but I really believe in building your own vision. Doing something different is way better then just being one in a thousand of the same thing. So good on him for the build.

Yeah, the triple cab short box looks better to me then the double cab long box. I don't think I like the wrap around rear side windows on it. look great on a van but on the truck I don't think so.
