Vehicle history
vehicle was bought new back in 2014 and was taken by its original owner jeremy smith to jimmys rod and customs in edgewater florida to have the suspension work done. the plan was to get it layed out on 26in wheels and still have a quality daily driver. the build took about a year. the whole back half of the frame was cut off and built. all the front suspension was removed and all new brackets and control arms and mounts were made. once the truck was on the floor. The raceline 26 inch wheels were put on to fill the wheel wells. after the build the truck was then driven daily for 2 year and then sold and shipped from florida to st louis missouri. Twigg had purchased it to tow his new build around to shows. he had it about a year and in that time installed a wilwood big brake kit made by little shop mgf. and did a few body mods to smooth out the look. I had seen the truck on ebay and had known it very well from the time jeremy had owned it in florida. next was for me to purchase it.So we rented and car and drove out to st louis to get it. we skated it 10 hrs home and inch off the ground!! now that i had it it was only about a year in i decided i needed to change it up a little and make it my own. The truck got a whole new paint job with graphics done by kristian baena in georgia and had some interior work done. The truck doesnt get dailyed anymore butgetts driven on the weekends and is used to also tow my wifes truck back and forth to shows across the country.
