The official SEMA 2015 thread

The one thing I do care about at SEMA this year is the Weaver Customs build, "Django". Friends of mine and was fortunate to finish a prior build of theirs...I never got to see this one in person.

Even most car people don’t realize that Ford built unibody 1961–1963 F-100s pickups. The trucks, which feature a full chassis like a typical light-duty truck, aren’t traditional unibodies the way we refer to unibody cars—it’s just that they don’t have a removable bed, making the cab and bed one long piece. Their unique construction is enough of a novelty on their own to make people scratch their heads and wonder whether or not it’s a custom modification. Weaver Customs took one of these F-100s to such extremes of customization to remove all doubt.
Randy Weaver and his wife, Sydney, call the truck Django—they just liked the way the name sounded—and it was supposed to serve as a shop truck for Weaver Customs in West Jordan, Utah, just south of Salt Lake City. Considering the derelict truck was pulled from a reservation in sad shape, complete with a few bullet holes, it seemed like a fitting role.
As is the case in most any custom vehicle build, plans changed. From a rusted and worn-out hulk, the F-100 started taking shape slowly in the back of Randy’s mind. Soon the shop-truck plan was tossed and the Weaver Customs shop tore into the build as Randy saw the potential in the old Ford. With the 2015 Detroit Autorama just seven months away, all hands were on deck.

I got to see it at Hot August Nights this summer, really really nice build and there's so many custom touches that don't jump right out at you like the widened front fnders and grille. Can't even see the cummins in there other than the intake manifold because it's all covered with sheetmetal
