The bed wascompletely fabricated from scratch, but it sure looks OEM, thanks to carefulmatching of body lines and contours that also accommodate the late-model GMfiberglass dually fenders. The effect is remarkable, and you’d swear that thiswas factory build if you didn’t already know better.

Everything has been restored or replaced, and still looksshow-ready today, including the grille opening surrounds and those delicatecommercial-style rear view mirrors. Even the stock wiper arms remain, furtherblending the custom and stock components and making viewers wonder where theline lies. In back, the tail lights offer traditional blue dots, and that rearbumper fits as well as any truck I’ve ever seen. Is it custom or factory?

With pump-gas friendly9.0:1 compression, Comp Cams bumpstick, and an Edelbrock Performer RPMintake, it will happily pull trailer all day without complaint. An Edelbrock600 CFM carburetor lives under billet aluminum air cleaner, and it has allbeen bathed in matching Torch Red paint. The build was completed only 3200miles ago, so it runs beautifully and shows few signs of being used; paint iscrisp, the polished aluminum is bright, and all the chrome sparkles. Theradiator looks like it was borrowed from Kenworth, and should keep this truckcool under virtually any conditions, especially with that massive SPAL electricfan. Power brakes and steering are included, and are probably mandatory on arig this size, but it drives effortlessly around town as long as you take careto look out for those wide fenders.Incase you had any doubts about this truck’s hauling abilities, one lookunderneath will lay your fears to rest.

The original bench seat remains in place, preserving the truck’spassenger carrying capacity, while the original gauge cluster and dash werefully restored, including the factory tachometer. tilt column topped by aleather-wrapped LeCarrera steering wheel makes it comfortable for those longhauls, and billet pedals tie it all together neatly.
