What was the inspiration?
What inspired me, well ive been around the scene since 93 and I still love mini trucks as much as I did back then. My first truck was a Ranger (no this is not the same one), and I have always loved this body style. I guess what inspired me to build it this way is looking around at Ranger builds such as Jody Halls and Tony Audia I knew I wanted to have something as cool as theirs. I just wanted something to build something that looked good and was fun to drive.
How long did it take you to build?
Through various stages 10 years.

Pete Ryberg, and Eric Foelber of Big Dog Customs for not painting this thing once but 3 times (second paint job never came out, we decided to go solid Orange). Fred Green and PPG for the paint! Brad Wurzbacher of (formerly of Driven Fab, currently at Lucky 7 Rod Shop) for the awesome interior job!, Kirk Simmons on help with the frame, Jason Hurlock for help with sheet metaling the Bed, and all the other friends who helped along the way getting this truck through its various stages. And most of all my wife Danielle and 3 Daughters who still put up with me driving all over the country to shows to hang with my friends in parking lots!
