I agree. The truck shows great craftsmanship and thinking outside "the box". But the wheels...ehhh still a great truck nonetheless.

I wonder if that's the same Chevy/MB truck that sold for over $100K at BJ a couple of years ago.

Re: 55 build, here's something "different"

I appreciate the craftsmanship that went into completing what was; I'm sure, a complex and costly project but it doesn't do anything for me.

If you gave it to me I'd sell it. If I wanted a Mercedes SUV, I'd buy a Mercedes SUV.

Re: 55 build, here's something "different"

I would sell it too, just a " hey look at this". Always curious about "all" that is custom.

Re: 55 build, here's something "different"

nice truck- and i am sure it is nice to drive !
To buy a truck that someone else built is very nice
To drive a truck that i built ? priceless !
i know not all ppl can build one let alone work on a vehicle.
but for me to take the time -effort -want and desire to restore an ol'truck ,
that is all i need .

Just sayin ; is all
