Custom built throughoutPickled Wood & White washed bed.. (go try to find that at a Lumber yard)..Sullivan Racing Pedals.. yeah they are about $100 a piece.. (this was not some cheap build)..Brand new Tires (40 miles)..Brand new Wheels..Air in rear.. give her the stance you like.. I like a little Rake but she will go even all the way around..

**Nothing like this one anywhere in the World**
Build thoughts:
I grew up in the 80's on the East Coast and my Dad had a 50 Chevy truck one day I asked him hey dad why does Charlie's truck have extra windows in the back? Dad said, well Son Charlie bought that ole truck for his Wife cause 5 window trucks are for Girls..and we ain't girls.
Secondly I don't like "pretty trucks" just not my thing, when a guy spends two years blocking a truck I think that is down right dumb.. it's a truck and I want it to retain it's scars. So the exterior retains some of her scars.. She has new Wheels and Tires (literally brand new) a new chrome bumper, I wanted everything to flow together nicely to the pickled white washed bed to the 30mm bullet casings on the bed corners (small details), the rear lights are vintage Chevrolet. On the pictures I have the back raised up but it does go down, I like the stance in the pics. The interior is completely new- the dash wood grain was from a 2019 Mercedes S65 designo model they call Ash grey (try finding someone to do that).. the Pedals are custom designed and made by Spencer Designs (Billet pedals) Spencer designs pedals for Aston Martins, Porsche and Ferrari's but I wanted something different not something anyone could go buy off the shelf. The seats are Alligator cause..what the heck.. if you look at the cab the headliner is Suede (real stuff) I went to Veterans upholstery supply in Los Angeles and the owner hand picked the hides. German weave carpets with matching mats."
Let the Fun begin.. If your into boring.. please keep looking.. cause this ole Truck is not for you.. It's not just another truck..
