That is a very interesting one off custom setup. It may be the only one that way in existance. Done so well and so slick that you don't realize it is a custom setup.

I'm wondering if the truck still looks that good as those photos are from 2013.

You have shown it here and on FB and I hope someone else doesn't beat you to it. The truck is a bit dated in some respects but is one nice truck.

well done, that is a really nice truck!

What is the front suspension? The auction said 'suburban' but that would be too wide.

Cool beans, I'd say that one is one you will wanting to be doing longer road trips in rather than keep in the garage.
