Looks like a Ford.
I think that's been Photoshopped.

Chevy/GMC was/is the only company that I know of that makes an OEM utility body.
Whatever truck that is, that body is OEM and I don't see one on fords website,
I'm pretty sure it's not real

I wish I could remember who makes those, I'll keep brain storming  . I've seen a couple of them around here. There're pretty cool.

I have seen them on different sites. They are a real utility body, not a photoshop.
From what I remember, people said the quality isnt very good, but you never know

The vet my wife hires for her goats has one - I think on the F350 power stroke 3/4 ton frame, it cost her $55k.
I could be wrong though.

Here is a company that offers something similiar http://www.svefleet.com/us/Home.aspx (front compartment only)
I am pretty sure a Ford Fleet dealer can point you to the company that does it

They also make them for GM trucks, looks like the Dodge fans are out of luck.
There may be others that manufacture similar bodies, but this is the only one I found.

knaphide, stahl and a few others make real nice aerodynamic/flared utility bodies. Those bodies usually run around 10-15k new and in my opinion not worth it. For $3k you can get a extended height cap.

That was a factory option from Ford for a few years.
They were not very heavy duty and most either rusted, leaked water, or broke.
