UFO Spotted In Oakland. Can You Identify It?

I was in my old East Bay stomping grounds last weekend, to drive the Scion FR-S (review coming soon) and watch the Oakland A's beat up the hapless Red Sox. I also spotted one of the greatest motor vehicles in history while driving down High Street on the way to The Island That Rust Forgot. It featured the letters "UFO" across a vaguely tailgate-ish rear body panel. I've puzzled out the type of vehicle it's based on. Can you?
Actually, I cheated a little by looking up the license plate in the California smog check database. It's a 1973 Chevy Luv pickup with a whole bunch of innovative modifications.
I tried to talk to the driver about it, but she seemed reluctant to chat with anyone in a Hot Lava Orange Scion.
The world needs more customized trucks like this!
