This truck finally made it into town last year. He got it painted 9 years ago!! All he's been doing is putting it together at his lake house, which is why its taken so long to put together. Just the interior is left. It has a BUILT 454 in it, posi and 4.56 gears. He also owns a GMC Cylone and he says this truck will absolutely murder the Cyclone, untill 55 when he is running 4,500 rpms and lets off. It sits outside all the time and I've only seen it driving once. He also is never around the house so I could only get these pictures.

17" wheels with 315/35/17 Bridgestone tires on it. Also there is a Bow-Tie louvered in his tailgate. He made all these clear lenses and markers himself a few years back. He also made the Phantom grille himself and used Dodge Dynasty headlights.

For a second there I thought that was the life size hot wheels chevy! That looks cool, I like the seamless front end. IMO I think it would look meaner if the grill was darker. but it is still killler!

I hope that’s a parachute and not the gas tank under there. WOW that’s low for a gas tank! Scares me and I ain’t afraid of nothen!!!

Well, that is his gas tank under there, not a parachute. It is low. I think if he would paint the inner grille black and then sand off the edges it would look better. You can't see it in the pic, but there is a 1/2" gap in the center that looks bad. When I first saw this truck I thought he bought it from Cali or something because of how it was done and with the pipes out the box sides. I don't get why the handles were shaved and he left the markers though

But its still cool to look at.
