Build story
I originally built this truck in my kitchen (you read that right) in 2006. It was originally built as kind of a rat rod, it was fenderless and a roadster pickup at the time. I built the frame from rect tubing, I used a Jeep Comanche 2WD axle in the front with an AMC Eagle rearend. I put 20,000 miles on the truck in this form. I took the truck apart in 2014 for a rebuild and kind of stalled on it until 2018. I ended up doing a full rebuild. I changed the wheel base and suspension front and rear. I changed the cab roof line and skin. I added full fenders and a '34 Ford commercial grille. The truck is loud, fast, and fun. It's back on the road now and I can't wait to rip up the road with it this year.
