Vehicle history
The truck was originally build by Scott Crosslin and Rocky Bryan in 2006. Scott showed the truck for a few years before selling it. It was passed around to a few different owners. When I saw the truck posted online for sale, I knew the truck and I had to have it. We picked the truck up on Christmas Eve, it sat on the trailer until we could replace the batteries. Once we got the truck into the garage, we stripped all of the air ride off of it. We started ordering everything we needed but with plenty of research, it took me 3 months to choose the rims I wanted. I knew how I wanted the truck, and every decision was based on the theme I was going for.
Thanks to

Teigh and Marian Graham with Graham Paint and Body for all of the bodywork and paint, inside and out. Dyno Designs for the amazing airbrushing, and bringing my vision to life.
