There's no chrome left, ut trucks weren't known for their dress-up parts anyway. The tailgate was punched full of louvers, he bed is full of handsome wood planks that have just the right amount of patina, nd the exhaust pipes peeking through the rear roll pan is a very cool touch.Climb into the tall cab and you'll find a totally custom interior that's based around that swooping center console.
