It looks like a cut-down '56 grille to me, with the Desoto teeth underneath. The cab looks '53-'55. If I were going to build it, I think I'd use the AMT Trophy Series '53 F-100 (NOT the flipnose!) and raid a grille from a Revell '56 F-100.

the inside looks easy to and rims look familiar only the vent the seems like it would take some time to do

I used to be bedable in my younger days.

Would be a nice build about a year Go they built three of these trucks on the speed channel. Said it was for an upcoming movie they couldn't reveal. I forget the show,sorry.

The truck was built by West Coast Customs for Stallone. If you can find the episode (it was orginally done on TLC or Discovery then repeats have been running on HDTHR) they cover the entire build. They built 3 trucks. Two to be used for stunt trucks in the movie and one for Stallone personal ride.

Here is a link to the show on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOVnVksCwPU, its in three parts, it helps explain alot of the details like how they created the grille and the hood vents. I wish I had kept my dvr copy I had because I had been thinking about recreating it and the chevy p/u used in the movie Gamer.

Now, this is what the internet is all about! Everyone gets to see the old show detailing this build to model! Be sure to see it's actually 6 files.

Now I need to see the show with george53 putting my Mopar together so Ican check how the interior of the glove box looks.
