We boxed, chopped cut ground and more to the frame, Ridetech air on all corners, 9 inch rear with Wilwood brakes on all 4 corners, drilled/slotted rotors polished hubs, calipers, third member, 4 link bars etc. Put a 502/502 with a Tremec TKO600 transmission. Hydraulic clutch. Master cylinder and clutch cylinder under dash. Lots of polish and black paint. On the cab we removed the drip rails, lots of mods to the bed with Black Walnut bedwood, polished strips, and LED lights. Other than plug wires, none can be seen without looking really hard.

You are right Dan, cubic dollars and a lot of polishing. I have an awesome customer that let me build this truck and now I have to give it to him. I have grown to love it over the last two years. I will still have to maintain it tho.

I agree with Marc wholeheartedly! Be very proud, you're quite an accomplished builder. What kind of individual is the owner? I assume wealthy but is he/she a business owner? Lotto winner(my fantasy, lol)?

Hi Dan, Thanks for the kind words. The fellow that owns the truck is a very wealthy businessman that lives here in Georgia. You would never know that he has the kind of money that he does because he is a very nice down to earth guy, easy to work for and always asks for his bill before I have it ready. I am blessed to have this one in my portfolio.
