Where do I even begin to describe this truck? Fully customized, modified, updated, upgraded, improved and restored. Anything that could be powder coated was powder coated in Butter Cream. Anything that could be chrome is.

You could not build this truck in parts alone for what I would let it go for.

There is more than $40,000 just in parts to build the rolling chassis with the driveline and air management.

Chassis:

Choppin Block Extreme Air Ride Chassis….Full Chassis. This is not a hack camaro front clip or an aftermarket clip that uses a large majority of your 70 year old frame. This is a full frame!!
