My until recently employer used to make a few trucks like that.
Huge, I find my crew cab short bed Ram 2500 to be too big and cumbersome sometimes. I can’t imagine trying to run errands or parallel park one of those monsters, which dwarfs a 3/4 ton.
For the guy a Hummer H2 isn’t big and obnoxious enough for I guess!
I’m guessing the bed on our truck was from Ford. My work was in a partnership with Ford for many years until Ford had issues with engines, lawsuits occurred and the partnership went away!

Pretty sure some aftermarket bodybuilders companies are still making pickups off class 8 severe service chassis if you got the need and deep enough pockets to buy one.

ICON still builds some of that stuff
& the now defunct GM Kodiak mid-size 'intermediates' 26k # axles
some even with truck beds on them, like a cowboy limmo
couldn't use them for anything practical, too tall just pissing away $$$
I had a 93 Kodiak Intermediate International Diesel
(Later a Detroit Diesel Allison trans)
with a 6' sleeper, kitchenette, gooseneck/flatbed
(later converted to 5th wheel)
I got a killer deal on it with 5k miles on it, a lease return/turned in,
like new, still has the lil' nibs on the tires
that I used to tow my 43' Featherlite Alum, 3 axle enclosed race trailer
with an elevator/lift storage for 2nd car & living qtrs/restroom in front 12',
bed over the front overhang, fuel storage, air tools,
spare parts in lockers under a bench, storage cabinets in it,
For hauling my T/S or P/S cars & Altereds, all over the US...
for about 10 years
they weren't cheap,
like 3 times or more the price of a Big 3 reg 1 ton dually, loaded
but well worth the price if you towed long-hauls
They were commonplace out west, for the time they were still around
like a 4-5 ton truck/axles etc. vs the 1 ton dually's Big 3 mass production,
when you needed something smaller then a semi/tractor trailer
but the 1 ton dually wasn't cutting it anymore
