Vehicle history
Truck was built by Kutomwerkz in Union city Tn in 2003. I promised the original owner. Eric Rhodes, that i would do updates but not change the overall truck. YES this is the same tuck that had maltese cross wheels on it for many yrs. Truck has been completely redone from front to back but hasn't lost its original idea.
Thanks to
First off thanks to my fellow Relaxed Atmosphere family, my son Dominic, my parents Charlie and Sandi and my wife Amanda for understanding all the long hrs in the garage. Johns Auto Body in Imperial, Mo laid down a killer paint job, with paint provided by Axalta. TJ at Kambered Kreations for the color matched bedliner and install of the Air Lift valve block. Air Lift Performance for the 3H air ride set up and support.
