Re: different...

Interesting... but seems like some that metal work was done just for the sake of doing metal work, like laying down the tailgate.

Re: different...

Nice truck...but when you go custom like this, you should be prepared to keep it. You will never get the money back invested, as tastes vary widely on custom builds.

It's definitely a nice looking truck, but the combo of the cab stretch, chop, and pancaked hood just throw the proportions all out of whack. I thought the pic was messed up at first until I read the description!

Re: different...

Wouldn't molding the bed to the cab cause it to tweak or break? Like if you hit a bump.

Re: different...

Hmmm...Why would you make it for big & tall guys and then do a chop? What do they have a barca-lounger in there?

I wonder how that cab/bed splice will hold up? These frames have a lot of flex....

Very Nice truck though. All those details add up to a lot of work by someone.
Ill take it! Darn it, thats right......Im broke.

if its welded . it would have to be a massive bump/hole.

if its bondo'd i think a sharp turn would break it.

I like it. but why would it have all this metal work but nothing done common its like a "Shaved Sleeper" for lack of a better word.
