It is an aftermarket body using M-151 parts. There were three main players that I know of. Encore from Florida, Carolina Growler from North or South Carolina and Titan from Texas. There were others but they were the three I have heard the most about. Generally they used a real frame and heavier sheep metal for the bodies. I know the Encore the best and they used 16 gauge metal and all the joints were welded. They also had a smooth belly pan. Very nicely done. There was just not enough of a market for them though and the companies all went under.
