I thought I looked overloaded.
Was this at a gas station or a car lot? I remember seeing this set for sale on Ebay once.

He has air shocks.
Even if he had air shocks, Stableloads, and Air Bags, the front wheels would barely be touching the ground.
I vote for Photoshop - look at the wavy lines in the picture of the camper.

He has counter weights in the front bumper.
And a weight distribution hitch.

That's funny that it's so overloaded you guys can't believe someone would be that dumb. But it's not photoshop.
The only thing I can think of since I didn't talk to the guy is that maybe, hopefully, he sold the truck that used to carry the camper and he's just using this truck to move it around a little til it's sold.
I saw it for sale in the Los Angeles area by the way.

PHOTOSHOP!
The truck and the camper pictures are different sizes.
Look at any side pictures of an 1150 on a pickup- any pickup. The front edge of the side window on the TC should be directly above the axle center. Like this:
Now look at the fake:
Also notice that if it was real, the front jacks would prevent the truck doors from opening.
And the rear overhang is way out of proportion.

First off, your 1150, and this 1150 have different sized slide windows. You can clearly see that the window on the Chevy's is smaller.
Second off, he has views from four different angles, and they're all consistent. That's tough to impossible to do in Photoshop.
Third off, the jack isn't blocking the door. It's the angle the picture was taken from that's making it look like the jack's blocking the door.
Fourth off, 11-1/2' camper, 8' bed. It's proportional. The camper is extending past the bed approximately 1/2 the length of the truck's bed.

Either way, it's not a photoshop.
You know, you're right!
The windows are the same size. The camper on the Chevy clearly extends further past the end of the bed.

Not that it matters, but I think the truck is a 2500 3/4 ton by looking at the wheels. Looks to be 8 lug nuts.
It is an 11 ft based on the overhang.
Reminds me of my dad who towed a 35' triple slide 5th wheel around 13k lbs gvw with a 1/2 ton dodge SB with a 360 motor.
Luckily, I finally convinced him to upgrade and he bought a Ford 350 DRW. Funny how he said it towed better!!
