How come when people do all that body work they almost never smooth the wiper holes. Instead they put those bullets on. I think the tailgate is more functional then the wipers. I doubt that truck sees much rain anyway.

Truck looks very clean though, wheels do not.
I do like that air tank setup. Looks great yet easy to get to problem areas if needed.

Yes, it is resting on the top of the tire when it's "aired out". He needs to cut more out of the inner fender to clear...

Nice truck!! I dont care for all of it but it is a very good effort. There seems to always be those few people here that always put things down.

most likely because tailgates are not needed for inspection like wipers are.
I'm really not into any type of 'fruit colors' Plum, orange,Banana or lime. JMO
I am trying to buy an eggplant colored truck though but thats a veggie :-)

I do like lime with my tequila though , so maybe it could work.
I wish i was able to accomplish half of whats been done to that. DAVE

While I can deffinately appreciate the work and insight that went into building it, those kind of trucks just don't float my boat. Not trying to offend anyone, but those kind of mods completely negate the "utility" aspect of any truck. I love my trucks to handle fairly well, have super torque and adequate horsepower (along with look pretty ), but I just couldn't picture me hauling a trailer or a few sheets of plywood with that puppy. But hey, lots of folks seem to like that particular style, so I guess it can't be all bad.

95% of the time, a truck like that is strictly a weekend toy/show vehicle. There are those few that serve as daily drivers though. I have "most" the mods. as the green truck and mine is a DD. It fits my needs well and is more practical than you think.

Word. I'd be worried about cutting up those tires.

That's a nice looking truck. Props. It's kind of a "to each his own" sorta thing, I guess. Personally I just couldn't see me wanting a truck that you couldn't even haul groceries in the back of, due to air tanks, compressors, etc. , but if a person had the $$$ to just have a truck as a toy, the more power to 'em.
