There was also an extended crew short bed dually there. The guy had wrecked his dually, so when he rebuilt it, he got a 3-door extended cab and added it onto his crew to make for a 5-door extended crew cab. It was pretty trick.

I especially remember this truck. "The truck with 2 hoods." I saw it later that summer at a local show/cruise. It was built by a shop in Irving, TX called Affordable Customs. I never figured out how they engineered the 2 hoods, but it was done so they could have an "open hood" at shows without having a detailed engine compartment.
Cool! According the Sportruck, it was '98. Bringing back memories can be fun. That's neat with the double hood idea. Got me wondering now, haha. Don't see any coverage pics of that dually, but it sounds neat as well.


Here's some more from that show:
