Looks like it has a ROOF lowering kit among other things. This kit has blocks that mount on the axle in the spring perch holes that sets it ahead of the front crossmember. The roof kit at the rear requires a second rear crossmember mounted ahead of the regular one and has blocks that mount on the axle and the radius rods so the rear spring rides ahead of the rear axle and the original crossmember. I had a T with a ROOF lowwering kit and it was great. Only problem was that on rough roads the front axle bangs on the starting crank. That's a great picture you posted. I think it probably has Chevy wheels.
