Where do I even begin to describe this truck? Fully customized, modified, updated, upgraded, improved and restored. Anything that could be powder coated was powder coated in Butter Cream. Anything that could be chrome is.
You could not build this truck in parts alone for what I would let it go for.
There is more than $40,000 just in parts to build the rolling chassis with the driveline and air management.
Chassis:
Choppin Block Extreme Air Ride Chassis….Full Chassis. This is not a hack camaro front clip or an aftermarket clip that uses a large majority of your 70 year old frame. This is a full frame!!
When I bought this frame I checked every box and bought every upgrade.
Upgraded to the highest extreme level…level 3
Small block engine mounts
Air tank mounts
Custom width Ford 9”
31 Spline 3.50 Posi Trac Center Section

Rear Sway Bar
Optima battery box
20 Gallon custom fit fuel cell
Slam Specialties SS7 air bags
Front 12” Wilwood Superlite 4 piston calipers
Rear 12” Wilwood Dynalite Pro 4 piston rear calipers
Upgraded Wilwood spindles..This allows a sealed bearing hub assembly and thinner profile rotor assembly rather than an inner and outer wheel bearing. This is not only a better design but will never limit center cap choices for any wheels.
Frame is powder coated Buttercream
Every bolt was replaced with gold anodized grade 8 hardware
The chassis today is $20,000 shipped and that does not include powder coat or hardware
