I have seen Steve's truck many times here in New Mexico at the Super Show. That truck is a really cool patina!

Once the cab and bed is removed, this is what we will build: Air ride system, Progressive frame parts, etc, stay tuned for updates.

Gman7, The patina paint looks great. The stance looks great also. Can't wait to see your truck back on the frame.
