Jesse came to us looking for a simple driver that was reliable and fun to drive. And that’s just what this truck is. After completing some extensive metal repair on the floors we were able to dive into the build.
This truck’s natural patina is so perfect it’s not worth messing with. Fresh glass and a set up 15″ steelies are just what this driver needed.
Jesse wanted a reliable driver so we sourced a low mileage stock 4.8ls and a 4l80e transmission. The perfect combo for a drive anywhere cruiser. A ford 8.8 rear end was shortened and installed giving this truck 373 rear gears and a posi.
We shaved the firewall and painted it a satin black, this really helped clean up under the hood. A Cold Case aluminum radiator and electric cooling fan keep the 4.8LS temps right where they should be.
The factory frame was cleaned and painted. A mustang ll front suspension was installed along with a triangulated 4 link in the rear. Qa1 coilovers at all 4 corners keeps this truck planted and driving smooth down the road.
Completed: October 2025
