That's the part that REALLY scares me....all the weight concentrated on that one spot.....how many tens of thousands of pounds were all sitting in that area?

Not something I would be "brave" enough to venture out on.....

I really don't think it's photoshopped, I think it's just the angle.

If it's PSed, they did a pretty good job. At least better than I could do.

It definitely isn't the angle. Everything else is proportionate. The windows are same height as the tail lights?

Whatever...

I was ice fishing this weekend and drove all over a lake with no problem. Standard operating procedure up here. That being said, I don't go near the ice with my truck until it is at least a foot and a half thick. It was probably closer to 2 feet thick where I was this weekend.
5 inches? No way dude!

I think they had to cut the top half of the cab off to lose some weight. So, they could lift the truck off the bottom of the lake.

But yeah, it looks like the cab has been chopped. It just doesn't look right.

If that guy was in the truck when that 'happened' he had better hoped he had the rear slider which is nearly on every F150 at least. If he had a Chevy he would have been f'd! They barely let the rear slider as an option
