Original body style???

[Ayers1]

I was at a cruise in this evening and this pick up was there. It's a 29 Ford street rod and I complimented the owner on the nice job of stretching the cab. He said it was never stretched and came like this originally and was marketed out west. I have never seen a 29 pickup body like this. Was the guy full of BS or is this a style I have never seen? Thanks!
