@rhigh100 I was thinking the same thing, but once I watched the whole video, I'm thinking that the Jag front-end is probably wider than the stock pickup front end, and the no-dish front rims were the only way they could get the front wheels to tuck under the fenders like that. The front brakes are pretty close to the outside, so it doesn't look like these wheels were a style choice so much as a necessity. You can get closer to the fenders on rears because they don't turn.
Actually says in the video it's got a Jaguar front end. This is pretty common in Australia because the width is just about perfect for early f-trucks. Makes them much nicer to drives as well.

nice truck but i'm not crazy about those rims. the back ones look ok but the front rims look like they belong on a fwd car or something.

It's a jaguar front end so no straight axle, airbags front only.
