It's not just the hood. A Ford Transit has a smaller wheelbase, a smaller track and a lower ground clearance than an F250. The smallest F250 engine I could find has 405hp, more than a full sized German fire truck, the biggest Transit engine has 310hp. They're clearly not built on the same platform. Noone would use a Ford Transit flatbed for their daily commute, and noone would do this to a Ford Transit flatbed either. Because they're not the same type of car.
