That's the same photo they used when they were speculating what the 05's were going to look like. They just changed the description text to talk about the anticipated 07's. Also during development, its not uncommon to use a mule from a totally different vehicle to test new components on.
I saw a program on the Discovery Channel talking about Ford's development of a new Shelby or something along those lines. They dropped a V10 into a 2004 Mustang and were beating the hell out of it on the test track. Not sure if they were testing a new tranny or what. The tire smoke was rather spectacular though.
Anyway, like all rumors and such, its all speculation until the vehicles hit the dealerships' lots. Either way, it should be interesting to see what the 07 ends up looking like.

The real problem with USA manufacturers is cost control to please Wall Street. If I have read things correctly GM is in the tank at a $1,000,000,000 loss. Ford hasn't lost money, but its bonds have been derated to junk quality.
Given increased fuel costs, this whole thing doesn't look good for these guys.
But, if what I have read is correct, GM will come out with a biodiesel friendly duramax. Not a word from Ford on this issue.
Things are changing. Methane fields are now hot and being reexplored. There is a method to convert methane into clean, sulfur free diesel, which meets 2007 requirements.
If the 6.0L PSD is not pleasing the members here, Ford should reconsider its attitude. The Superduty is a big piece of the pie.
I certainly am taking a look at Ford, but this cost cutting attitude leaves me a little cold.
