Re: AD COE at detroit autorama
Nice looking truck and the rear bumper actually matches the front when you start thinking about it.

Re: AD COE at detroit autorama
Any ideas on who built it? Looking over the build would be interesting. Guessing it was expensive...

Re: AD COE at detroit autorama
I admit to liking it a lot, BUT....(since it’s no one’s here) is it me or do the front wheels especially look too big? Also, seems a bit odd not seeing exterior stake pockets on the bed. Like it’s missing them - not that it “needs” to have them, just more true to the look of an old pickup truck.
PS: Rear bumper looks like it weighs 400lbs!
